ATLANTA, Sept. 5 (UPI) -- A three-run double by Brandon Jones highlighted a seven-run third inning Friday, allowing the Atlanta Braves to coast past Washington 10-5.

Atlanta sent 11 men to the plate in its big inning, which began with a single by pitcher Jair Jurrjens and included two bases-loaded walks.

Jurrjens (12-9) benefited from the outburst to get the win, giving up a run on six hits in five innings.

Jason Bergmann (2-11) lasted just 2 1/3 innings, surrendering seven runs on five hits with three walks.

Kelly Johnson added three hits and two RBI for the Braves.
