McCann Leads Braves To Series Win

By Darin Wernig

ATLANTA (AP) _ Brian McCann homered and drove in four runs to
help the Atlanta Braves beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-to-4.

Chipper Jones returned from the disabled list and hit a
tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the seventh off losing pitcher Matt
Wise, who falls to 5-and-6. And Jeff Francoeur hit his
22nd homer for Atlanta, which took two of three in the series.

Tony Graffanino (graf-uh-NEE'-noh) hit a two-run double in the
top of the seventh to help the Brewers rally from a 4-1 deficit to
tie it, but his error in the bottom half helped the Braves take the
lead with three unearned runs.

Chad Paronto recorded one out in the seventh and is 1-and-0
after recording his second major league win and first since April
22, 2001, for Baltimore against Tampa Bay.

Bob Wickman pitched the ninth for his seventh save in seven
chances with Atlanta, and his 22nd in 25 opportunities overall.
