Braves 8, Padres 2
SAN DIEGO — David Ross hit two home runs and Jair Jurrjens threw his first complete game to lead the Braves. Chipper Jones hit a two-run homer in the first inning to tie Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle for second place among switch-hitters with 1,509 RBIs. Ross drove in four runs with a solo homer in the second and a three-run blast to cap the Braves' five-run sixth inning. The Braves kept Aaron Harang from becoming the NL's first five-game winner.
