Victorino, Phils burn Braves
Associated Press
ATLANTA » Maui's Shane Victorino and the Philadelphia Phillies emerged from their interleague blahs to resume their mastery of the Atlanta Braves, ruining the surprise return of Chipper Jones.
Victorino homered and drove in four runs and Kyle Kendrick and the Phillies beat the Braves 8-3 last night to remain unbeaten at Turner Field this season.
Pat Burrell also hit a homer for the Phillies, who improved to 6-1 against the Braves this season. They are 4-0 in Atlanta.
The Phillies spoiled the return of Jones, who missed eight straight starts with a strained right quadriceps. Jones, 1-for-3 with a double and two walks, had been expected to go on the DL but instead told manager Bobby Cox before the game that he was ready to play. He said he had no problems with the injury but added "We got our butts whipped tonight."
Kendrick (8-3) is 2-0 against the Braves this season and 3-0 in his career.
"I don't know what it is," said Kendrick, who gave up seven hits and three runs in six innings.
The Phillies took three straight wins in Atlanta, June 6-8, but then lost six straight series, including four against American League teams. Manager Charlie Manuel said his team may have found comfort in facing the Braves, a familiar opponent.
"Yeah, it can help you without a doubt," Manuel said.
