MIAMI, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Jair Jurrjens threw seven shutout innings and Alex Gonzalez drove in both Atlanta runs Saturday in the Braves' 2-0 win over Florida.

Jurrjens (7-4) scattered three hits and three walks to pick up his first road win of the year. He fanned seven.

Jonny Venters pitched a 1-2-3 eighth and Billy Wagner tossed a scoreless ninth to collect his 32nd save.

The Braves maintained a one-game lead over Philadelphia in the National League East with the victory, in which Omar Infante and Martin Prado each contributed two hits.

Marlins starter Josh Johnson (11-6) absorbed the hard-luck loss, fanning a career-high 12 batters while yielding only two runs on eight hits in six innings.
