INSIDE PITCH

PLAYER OF THE GAME

Norichika Aoki was clutch again for the Brewers. His two-run double to left-center in the seventh inning off Chad Durbin put Milwaukee ahead to stay at 3-1. He also threw out Martin Prado at third base from right field in the fourth.

TURNING POINT

The Brewers had nothing going until Braves starter Mike Minor left the game. Then things picked up in the seventh against Jonny Venters, who surrendered a single, walk and then committed an error on a bunt by Jeff Bianchi that allowed the tying run to score. From there, things snowballed and by the end of the seventh, Milwaukee held a 4-1 lead.

BEHIND THE BOX SCORE

Chipper Jones received a standing ovation from the crowd before his first at-bat in the first inning. He stepped out of the box and doffed his helmet to the crowd. Then, one pitch later, Jason Heyward was thrown out by Martin Maldonado trying to steal second, ending the frame.

Maldonado also threw out Freddie Freeman in the second inning when he strayed too far from first base after Brewers starter Wily Peralta threw a ball in the dirt.

Peralta reached as high as 98 mph on his fastball, in the third inning, and was still hitting 97 as late as the sixth inning.

Freeman robbed Jeff Bianchi of a base hit in the fifth, when he made a lunging grab of his liner in the hole.

Peralta displayed some quick hands when he made a bare-handed grab on a comebacker to the right of the mound by speedster Michael Bourn to lead off the sixth. He then turned, wheeled and fired, getting him by a step at first.

STATITUDES

Aoki has hit safely in 12 of his last 14 games, including seven multi-hit games during the stretch.

The Brewers have now notched 40 come-from-behind victories this season, the most in the major leagues.

Jones collected his 2,715th hit, tying him with Bill Buckner for 60th place on the all-time list.
