ATLANTA — Chipper Jones and Jason Heyward homered and the Atlanta Braves withstood Arizona’s comeback attempt to beat the Diamondbacks 6-4 on Wednesday night.

Jones’ two-run homer off Trevor Cahill in the sixth inning was his first since May 4.

Tommy Hanson (9-4) gave up three runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings.

Craig Kimbrel struck out the side in the ninth to earn his NL-leading 22nd save.

The Braves led 6-0 before Ryan Roberts’ three-run homer in the seventh knocked Hanson out of the game. Chris Young added a pinch-hit homer off Jonny Venters later in the inning to cut Atlanta’s lead to two runs.
