ESPN.com - MLB - Recap - White Sox at Braves - 06/21/2002

You don't win many games on three hits, but the Braves did tonight. Chipper broke up a no-hitter in the fourth with a two-run homer, and Furcal broke up a 2-2 tie in the eighth with a bunt single to score Jesse Garcia (running for Keith Lockhart, who walked twice, making this his best game of the year). Glavine started and allowed only one run, but didn't get the win when Mike Remlinger blew a hold opportunity.

Vinny Castilla was back in the lineup tonight after missing the Detroit series with a hamstring injury. It didn't help the Braves' offense, which is still scuffling. The Braves have won three in a row despite not looking functional on offense for more than a couple of innings. Since an 11-run outburst in the second game of the Minnesota series, the Braves have played eight games, winning six... but have averaged only two and a half runs a game.

The rest of the division all won. The Braves lead Montreal (winners of eight straight) by 4 1/2, Florida by 5 1/2, New York by 6 1/2, with Philadelphia a distant last 11 1/2 out... The Braves' record is 44-29, a .603 winning percentage. It's the first time over .600 since the third game of the season.
