Jay Bell hit a solo homer, and Paul Goldschmidt hit a 2-run shot. But it was Matt Williams who put the exclamation on things. Williams hit a 3-run homer in the 2nd and then chased Maddux with a solo homer leading off the 6th. Fred McGriff hit a grand slam off Johnson in the 3rd to help the Braves keep things close, but they wouldn’t score after that inning. Johnson allowed 5 runs on 5 hits while striking out 6 in 6 innings. Byung-Hyun Kim held Atlanta hitless for 2 innings, and J.J. Putz pitched a perfect 9th to pick up the save, as Arizona advanced with the 8-5 win.
