became the first former Braves player to reach base safely five times and drive in five runs against the team
since 1957 (Brooklyn’s George Crowe). In the same win, Austin Kearns became the first National (2005-
pres.) to score five runs in a game. Kearns also hit his 100th career homer and tallied 400th career RBI via
a two-run shot in the 4th inning.
