After trumping the Pirates on Wednesday night at Turner Field 10-2, the Braves fell to Pittsburg tonight 4-3. Jair Jurrjens made his debut on the mound for Atlanta giving up two earned runs and 7 hits in 5 1/3 innings as well as receiving a standing ovation from the home crowd for a job well done on his first start since joining the Braves after being acquired from the Tigers. Mark Teixeira hit his first home run of the season and Matt Diaz joined him with a homer of his own. Then tonight the batting of the Braves just did not come through as the team had eleven hits but only three runs. The Pirates scored one run in the 3rd, the 4th, 7th, and then won the game in extra innings in the 10th. The Braves rally in the 6th to earn 3 runs just fell short in the end. The Braves continue play tomorrow night against the New York Mets at Turner Field.
