played on the Astros manager Art Howe said won at home by scoring runs early and then having our pitchers hold them off We did it the same way tonight When we do that in the Darryl Kile (2-1) outpitched John Smoltz (1-2) and Luis Gonzalez hit a three-run homer for the Astros Kile held Atlanta to two runs on four hits for eight innings Doug Jones closed for his sixth save you get that kind of pitching you should win whether on the road or at Braves manager Bobby Cox said Gonzalez began the game batting 105 He doubled in his first at-bat and in the fifth broke a 1-1 tie when he became the first player to hit a regular-season home run off Smoltz since Mike LaValliere connected last July 31 a span of 118 innings Nixon played for the first time since his 60-day suspension last Sept 16
