Jair Jurrjens keeps looking like the next ace of the Atlanta Braves. He gave the team six innings, spreading out seven hits so he only allowed one run. It helped that he struck out eight batters. With one walk tonight, he's struck out 36 this season while walking just 14.

Chipper Jones reached double digits in home runs as the Braves took down the Padres 5-3.

Only ridiculously bad luck in one-run games (a 0-9 record!) has kept Atlanta out of first in the NL East. They're still doing fine, though, just 1 1/2 back with the best run diff in the division. If Chipper stays in the lineup and Teixeira continues to heat up, Atlanta could win the division pretty easily.
