Bats erupt for 22 hits as Smoltz wins ninth

[braves guru]

Four days after they feuded, John Smoltz and Chipper Jones returned to the business of leading the Braves to victories -- in this case a seriously one-sided win. Order was restored on several fronts Wednesday night, as Smoltz got back to mastering the Washington Nationals and Jones regained his run-producing stroke in a 13-0 rout to give the Braves a series sweep at Turner Field. The Braves had a season-high 22 hits Wednesday and outscored Washington 23-3 in the three-game series, after being outscored 27-1 by Boston and Detroit last week in a season-high five-game losing streak.
