Braves Pummel Dodgers, 13-1
ATLANTA (AP) _ Jair Jurrjens and the Braves added to their home
success as Troy Glaus hit a three-run homer and Atlanta trounced
the Los Angeles Dodgers 13-1 on Sunday.
The Braves improved the majors’ best home record to 41-16 while
Jurrjens (5-4) gave up six hits and one run in seven stellar
innings. He’s 5-0 with a 1.83 ERA at Turner Field and 0-4 with a
6.39 ERA on the road.
Alex Gonzalez also drove in four runs for the first-place
Braves, who began the day two games ahead of Philadelphia in the NL
East.
The Braves have won two of the first three in the four-game
series with the Dodgers. The Braves, assured of at least a split in
the series, have lost only one of 19 home series this season.
