Braves 2, Pirates 0
PITTSBURGH — Jair Jurrjens pitched six-hit ball into the eighth to lead the Braves. Alex Gonzalez had three hits and a run for Atlanta, which ended Pirates starter Charlie Morton's three-game winning streak. Morton continued his strong pitching with seven-plus solid innings but couldn't match Jurrjens, who needed just 97 pitches to send Pittsburgh to its second straight shutout loss.
