Chipper Jones Has First Five-Hit Game In A Decade

Chipper Jones delivered his first five-hit game in a decade on Friday night as the Braves beat the Cubs 10-3.

Jones was added to the National League All-Star roster before the game, replacing injured Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp.

Jones, who plans to retire after this season, went 5-for-5 for his third career five-hit game and first since Aug. 11, 2002.

"Tonight was just one of those dream games," Jones said. "I would be hard-pressed to find a game in which I played better."

After his fifth hit, a single in the eighth inning, Jones was lifted for pinch runner Juan Francisco.
