Jair Jurrjens pitched six strong innings, allowing only one run and seven hits, while striking out eight and walking only one. Chipper Jones hit a 2-run homer in the Third and Mark Kotsay not only had a highlight catch in center field, but he also helped Jurrjens out at the plate having a two hit, two RBI day. Kotsay hit a RBI single in the Second and later a solo shot in the Fourth. Kotsay had been hitless in his last 12 at bats against Padres starter Chris Young. For Jurrjens it was his fourth win in seven starts as the Braves improved to over .500 for the first time since April 25th with their continued success at home winning the last 11 of 13 at Turner Field. Tonight, Tim Hudson will try to further the team’s success at Turner Field taking on Randy Wolf and the Padres.
