HOUSTON (AP) – John Thomson pitched four-hit ball for seven innings and Chipper Jones had a pair of RBI singles Wednesday night, giving the Atlanta Braves a 5-4 win over the Houston Astros.

Jeff Bagwell hit a two-out, two-run homer in the ninth off Braves closer John Smoltz. But after giving up Bagwell’s 16th home run of the season and 435th of his career, Smoltz finished for his 26th save in 28 chances.

Mets 6, Brewers 5

MILWAUKEE (AP) – First baseman Lyle Overbay botched Gerald Williams’ bunt for a tiebreaking two-run error in a five-run seventh inning, and the New York Mets beat the Milwaukee Brewers 6-5 Wednesday night for their first two-game winning streak in nearly a month.

The Mets overcame a 3-1 deficit in the seventh, when Doug Davis walked Cliff Floyd and Mike Cameron, and Mike Adam (1-1) relieved and allowed a two-run single to Joe McEwing that tied the score.

Pedro Feliciano (1-0) earned his first major league decision in 32 career appearances, striking out both batters he faced in the sixth.
