Jones' HR in 9th caps big rally, Braves beat Phils

ATLANTA (AP) -- Chipper Jones hit a three-run homer off Jonathan Papelbon with two outs in the ninth inning, capping a five-run rally that sent the Atlanta Braves over the Philadelphia Phillies 8-7 on Sunday.

The Phillies led 7-3 entering the ninth and seemed set to complete a three-game sweep.

Instead, the Braves boosted their wild-card position, coming back against Jeremy Horst and Papelbon (3-6).

Reed Johnson singled off Horst with one out for his third hit and Paul Janish walked. Papelbon struck out pinch hitter Lyle Overbay before walking Michael Bourn to load the bases.

Martin Prado's grounder skipped past third baseman Kevin Frandsen for a two-run double before Jones hit his 14th home run deep into the right-field seats.
