CINCINNATI (AP) - Andruw Jones homered twice and Andres Galarraga added a three-run shot as the Atlanta Braves set a franchise home run record and beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-1 last night.

Jones' three-run homer in the first gave the Braves a franchise record 23 consecutive games with a homer. The NL record is 24 by the Dodgers in 1953, and the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers share the major league record of 25.

The victory also marked another milestone. Atlanta has won 12 of its last 14 for a 27-11 record, the best start ever by a Braves team.
