PHOENIX, Aug. 9 (UPI) -- Chipper Jones clubbed a two-run homer and Martin Prado drove in three runs for the Atlanta Braves Friday in an 11-6 rout of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Prado cracked a triple and two doubles and Casey Kotchman added two RBI for the Braves.

Jorge Campillo (7-4) pitched 6 1/3 innings for the win.

Chris Snyder knocked in two runs and Alex Romero had a triple, double and two runs scored for the Diamondbacks.

Doug Davis (4-7), battered for seven runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings, was the loser.
