The Braves snapped Arizona's 8-game winning streak with a 14-0 shutout win over the DBacks at Chase Field.
The Braves scored in each of the first seven times at bat before calling off the dogs. Braves manager Bobby Cox sent reliever Peter Moylan up to pinch hit in the 9th and he grounded into a DP.
Arizona had just five hits in the game, but two were triples. The Brewers were the last team to get shutout when hitting two triples in a game and that was back on July 21, 1999 against the Phillies. On June 23, 1963, the Phillies were shut out by Carl Willey of the Mets on just two hits, both of them triples.
Chipper Jones drove in five runs while going 1 for 1. That feat was last done by Keith Ginter of the A's on May 20, 2005 against the Giants. Other players who have done it are Candy Maldonado, Mickey Tettleton, and Bill Voss.
