Home Field Advantage: Zucco, Arizona Open League Championship Series with Win
The Arizona Diamondbacks started the League Championship Series in style today, downing the visiting Atlanta Braves at Chase Field by a score of 9-4 to grab an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Diamondbacks third baseman Jim Zucco was 2 for 4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 5.

The Diamondbacks took a 8-4 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning. Facing Atlanta hurler Tim Kull with two outs, Zucco hit a bases-clearing double.

"No time for flexing," said Zucco. "It's always one game at a time."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Chase Field in Phoenix.
