I ended up not going to this game because of the weather. Mostly, I just didn’t feel like getting home at midnight or later, because this Friday night series opener was delayed by rain for over an hour. In retrospect, I kind of wish I had — not that I knew it at the time, but this was one last hurrah for Jair Jurrjens.
The gist: Jair Jurrjens returned from Triple-A to throw what was basically a gem against the Red Sox. The Braves tagged Jon Lester for a couple of runs in the fourth, and that was basically all they needed, as Jurrjens, Chad Durbin, and Craig Kimbrel combined to allow just one run and five baserunners to the Red Sox.
