Braves 7

Pirates 5

ATLANTA - Now that his knee is healthy, Brian McCann showed he has plenty of power left at 35 years old.

McCann hit one of four Atlanta homers in the second inning and took Pirates starter Chris Archer deep again with a tiebreaking, three-run shot in the sixth to help the Braves beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-5 on Tuesday night.

"It probably hurt me for a little bit there, but once I got it fixed and I came back in September last year, I knew I could make an aggressive move on the baseball," he said. "I'm healthy. I feel good. Got my bat speed back."

The Braves, tied for first in the NL East, have won five straight. The game was called following a 1-hour, 48-minute rain delay after eight innings.
