Jurrjens helps Braves beat Marlins 2-0

MIAMI (AP) -- Jair Jurrjens pitched seven innings and earned his first victory
in 10 road starts this season when the Atlanta Braves beat the Florida Marlins
2-0 on Saturday night.
With the Braves clinging to first place in the NL East, Jurrjens (7-4) matched
a career high by winning his fourth decision in a row. He allowed three hits
and struck out seven.
In a matchup of JJs, Josh Johnson (11-6) came out on the short end. The
Marlins' ace tied a career high with 12 strikeouts in six innings but also gave
up eight hits and left trailing 2-0.
Alex Gonzalez had both run-scoring hits for the Braves. They've been alone atop
the division since May 31 but began the day only one game ahead of Philadelphia.
