Instead, it was a slugfest. Maddux allowed 3 home runs in a 6-run 2nd inning. 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&#8217;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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=arizona-atlanta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Arizona @ Atlanta &#8211; 10\/1\/23<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Randy Johnson facing off against Greg Maddux, fans expected a pitcher&#8217;s duel.
