In just his second season in Atlanta, Jair Jurrjens has proven that he can be one of the most consistent starters. In his seven appearances this season he’s boasting a 2.01 ERA, good enough for best on the team and fifth in the majors, but he is only 3-2 on the season, a direct result of the Braves feeble offense that appears everytime he takes the mound.
With Anabel Sanchez taking the mound for the Marlins, the Braves looked to break up their pattern by getting off to a quick start in the second when David Ross hit a homer that scored Kelly Johnson. Casey Kotchman added a solo shot in the third, his first of the season, as the Braves rolled to a 4-2 victory, completing a two game sweep of the Fish.
Jair Jurrjens gave up three hits – two in the form of Hanley Ramirez solo homers – in his third win of the season.
News&Notes: Looks like the Braves have found themselves a lead-off hitter in the form of Omar Infante…Chipper Jones tells it like it is when it comes to Manny Ramirez’s recent failed drug test.
