Jair Jurrjens helped the Braves to a 4-0 win over Toronto Friday night, pitching eight shutout innings. Jurrjens accomplished quite a feat in interleague play for a National League pitcher. He posted a 0.00 ERA in his three starts. He did allow five runs, all unearned, which explains why he only walked away with one win.

Jurrjens finishes June with a 1.63 ERA. He only walks seven in the month, about one every four innings. He walked 30 in 70 1/3 innings the first two months of the season.

Chipper Jones did not play in the game as his leg still bothers him. The probability of his hitting .400 was basically unchanged, as the updated graph shows.

Nice to see my sort-of predictions on Jurrjens and Park came through. Otherwise it was the usual night of humiliation for the NL, as the senior circuit put together a swell 4-11 record.

At least today looks more promising for the National Leaguers, with Hudson, Santana, Webb, Hamels and Lincecum taking the hill. They might break even or actually win a day.
