Jair Jurrjens walked three consecutive batters with the bases loaded in the third inning, then got his first major league hit ahead of Kelly Johnson's tiebreaking, two-run homer to help the Atlanta Braves beat the struggling New York Mets, 6-3, on Friday. Johnson had four RBIs for the Braves, who sent the Mets to their fifth loss in six games.
Jurrjens (3-2) recovered from his wild stretch -- he didn't allow another batter to reach and retired his final 10 batters -- combining with four relievers on a two-hitter. Jurrjens' walks put the Mets ahead 3-1, but the Braves tied it on Johnson's sacrifice fly in the fourth and Jeff Francoeur's RBI double in the fifth. (More MLB stories.)
