After Hideo Nomo allowed a leadoff single to Marquis Grissom, he proceeded to walk Mark Lemke. With two on and nobody out, Chipper Jones had a shot to kick off the scoring for the Braves. On a full count, Jones hit a flare to short left field that was caught by Juan Castro on the run from his shortstop position.
