They have to face the Cubs for three straight and then go out west to face the American League West leading Los Angles Angeles. "We just lost all three games to the division leaders ... and we're heading out on the road where we haven't exactly lit it up," Braves third baseman Chipper Jones said. "So I don't know about anybody else, I'm worried. I don't want to come back from this road trip and be out of the race." Jones is expected to miss Tuesday’s game with a right quadriceps injury.
