Braves 3, Mets 1

Jair Jurrjens owned the Mets again, pitching another seven innings of one-run ball for a 3-1 Braves win.

Luis Castillo singled in a run in the third for the only Mets run. Jurrjens induced double plays in the first, fourth, and seventh to prevent any potential trouble. Jeff Francoeur grounded into two of them, showing what he's truly made of. Jurrjens did walk three but that's what the double plays were for. He threw just 94 pitches.

Yunel Escobar had two hits and the two big RBIs that came on a single in the fourth, plating the Braves' first two runs and taking the lead. Adam LaRoche added an insurance run in the ninth on an RBI single, his only hit of the game. Martin Prado went 2-4. The Braves and Mets each had five hits.

The win is Jurrjens' 13th, tying his career-high from last year. I have a feeling that number will continue to go up year by year.
