MLB: Atlanta 10, Chicago Cubs 3

ATLANTA, July 3 (UPI) -- Chipper Jones went 5-for-5 with four RBI and Michael Bourn stroked a three-run triple Tuesday in the Atlanta Braves' 10-3 win over the Chicago Cubs.

Jones -- named to the 2012 All-Star Game earlier Tuesday to replace the injured Matt Kemp of the Los Angeles Dodgers -- delivered a bases-clearing double and added a run-scoring single for the Braves, who erased a 3-1 deficit.
