Needing the win to help stave off an upset, the Braves built a 3–0 lead with solo home runs by Ryan Klesko and Mark Lemke as well as a two-out RBI single by Jermaine Dye in the sixth.
Home runs by Chipper Jones and Ryan Klesko drew Atlanta to 5–3 but the Florida bullpen held the Braves hitless over the final three innings.
However, in the ninth, the Braves got the tying run off him when Ryan Klesko scored on a sacrifice fly.

The Braves tied it in sixth on a Ryan Klesko RBI single, but San Diego retook the lead in the bottom of the inning when Jim Leyritz, two years removed from his crucial home run against the Braves in the 1996 World Series, hit a solo shot off Denny Neagle.
In his first at-bat with the Atlanta Braves in 1997, he hit a grand slam (the first of two grand slams in that game, the second would be by Ryan Klesko) to help power a comeback from a 0–6 deficit to the Phillies.
