Chipper Jones and Troy Glaus hit home runs and Tommy Hanson retired 14 consecutive hitters at one point to win his second straight start as the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 9-3, on Monday to take over first place in the National League East.
Hanson (5-3) went 6 2/3 innings and gave up only three hits and three walks. The only run charged to him scored after he left the game.
Jones put the Braves ahead with a two-run homer in the first -- his third of the season -- and Eric Hinske added an RBI single later in the inning for a 3-0 lead against Joe Blanton.
Blanton (1-4) allowed six runs -- four earned -- on eight hits over six innings.
Hinske drove in another run in the three-run third, which Yunel Escobar capped with a two-run single.
The Phillies scored three in the seventh, but Glaus blasted his eighth homer of the season in the bottom of the inning, a three-run shot off Chad Durbin.
Relievers Jonny Venters and Jesse Chavez finished the job for the Braves, who went 20-8 in May.
