Chipper Jones knows the Philadelphia Phillies' lineup is too potent to stay quiet for long. "At some point they're going to break out of it," he said. "You just hope it's not against you. We've been fortunate." The Braves capitalized on another punchless Phillies' effort to move into first place in the NL East with a 9-3 victory Monday.
