Braves 3, Rockies 4

Recap: The Braves dropped another one run game on Tuesday, their fifth such loss on the season making them the first team since the 1996 White Sox to do so in their 4-3 defeat to the Rockies. Jair Jurrjens had a solid start but gave up back to back RBI doubles in the fourth inning and another two runs in the fifth while Atlanta's offesne could not take advantage of a wild Jubaldo Jimenez in the first inning only scoring one run even though he allowed four of the first five batters to reach base. Jimenez settled down while the Rockies bats came alive solidifying another close loss for the Bravos.
