Braves Chip away at Cubs' lead
By Mark Bowman / MLB.com
It was only a matter of time before Chipper Jones and the Braves offense finally displayed some of the firepower that enabled them to enter this postseason with so much hope. With his team on the verge of a no-tomorrow situation and a pitcher not named Wood or Prior on the mound, Jones led the Braves to a necessary Game 4 win on Saturday afternoon.  Full story >

Eric Karros hit a pair of solo homers and survived a freak collision during Game 4, which ended with Sammy Sosa's drive to center falling just a few feet short of completing a game-tying rally against Braves closer John Smoltz. Now, Sunday will consist of a trip to Atlanta and a decisive Game 5 for the Cubs, who have not won a postseason series since 1908.  Full story >
