The fan in the front row who caught the game-ending home run Saturday was only the second-happiest 20-something male at Turner Field wearing a Braves shirt with "Francoeur" and "7" on the back.

The happiest? That'd be Jeff Francoeur, who hit the dramatic two-run homer with one out in the ninth inning to give the Braves a riveting 3-1 win against the Arizona Diamondbacks before an afternoon crowd of 36,363.

"Hopefully it's something that can get me going, get me relaxed at the plate and groovin'," said the recently slumping outfielder, who hit his second walk-off homer and first in more than two years.

Shortstop Yunel Escobar had an RBI single and a sensational double play for the Braves, who bounced back from Friday's 11-1 series-opening loss to win for the 20th time in their past 24 home games.

Francoeur was hitless in five of his past six games and homered once in 35 games before Saturday, when he provided a great souvenir for a front-row fan in left field wearing a ball glove and a Francoeur T-shirt.

"Great ballgame for the fans -- couldn't have a better holiday game than that one," said manager Bobby Cox, whose Braves have the National League's best home record (21-6) and the majors' worst road mark (6-16).

They are 7-2 on an 11-game homestand that concludes with day games Sunday and Monday against the NL West-leading Diamondbacks. The Braves improved their league-best record in day games to 11-5.

Their only concerns Saturday were finger blisters that forced Braves starter Jorge Campillo out of the game after he'd pitched four innings of two-hit ball in his second start since moving from the bullpen.

"He was outstanding, just excellent," Cox said of the right-hander, who trimmed his ERA to 0.86.

Cox said it was too early to know if Campillo would be able to make his next scheduled start. But Campillo, who pitched on only three days' rest Saturday after going six scoreless innings in a win against the Mets, said he believed he would be ready with regular rest.

"I wanted to throw one more inning, but Bobby said no," said Campillo, who had two blisters on the tip of his right index finger and another, smaller blister on the index finger. "With four or five days' rest, I'll feel fine.

"My curveball [stayed] up because of the blister. I feel good, but some curveballs and changeups went up. But my arm felt fine."

Blaine Boyer (1-3) got the last five outs for his first win since 2005.

Arizona's Randy Johnson had 10 strikeouts in six innings, but the Braves scratched out one run against the big left-hander and then pulled out the win after going to the ninth with the score 1-all.

Chipper Jones led off the ninth with single against lefty reliever Doug Slaten and advanced on a Mark Teixeira groundout.

Right-hander Chad Qualls was brought in to face Francoeur, who swung and missed the first pitch, then crushed a hanging slider into the teeth of the wind, sending it on a towering arc that ended in that fan's glove.

Teammates who raced from the dugout and surrounded home plate, waiting for Francoeur to cross before mobbing him and playfully smacking him around.

"[Mark] Kotsay got in some good body shots," Francoeur said, smiling. "I'll be glad to let them knock me around again like that."

It was the first Turner Field appearance for Johnson since his 13-strikeout perfect game against the Braves on May 18, 2004.

Johnson struck out four consecutive batters before Gregor Blanco's leadoff triple in the third inning. Escobar's one-out single put the Braves up 1-0.

The Diamondbacks had the bases loaded with one out in the sixth against Jeff Bennett when Conor Jackson hit a grounder up the middle.

Escobar fielded the ball bare-handed and in one smooth motion stepped on second base and made a blistering throw to first. Teixeira scooped the one-hop bullet to complete the inning-ending double play.

"Unbelievable, man," Bennett said. "Unbelievable."
