Braves 6, Dodgers 1

Recap: The Braves completed their second series sweep of the season this weekend, taking out the Dodgers, 6-1. Jair Jurrjens gave up just one run, a homer to Russell Martin in his seven innings of play while Mark Teixeira, Kelly Johnson, Martin Prado and Mark Kotsay knocked in all six runs for the Braves. The game wasn't all smoothing sailing for Atlanta as their star third baseman, Chipper Jones had to be relieved after aggravating his right quad injury but is expected back in the lineup in the next two days.
