ATLANTA, May 14 (UPI) -- Jair Jurrjens baffled the Phillies on three hits over 7 1/3 innings Saturday and the Atlanta Braves posted a 5-3 decision over Philadelphia.

The right-hander bested the Phils for the second time within a week, following a one-run, 6 1/3-inning performance Sunday.

Prado and Nate McLouth connected on back-to-back homers leading off the game for the Braves.

Phillies starter Joe Blanton (1-2). meanwhile, surrendered two runs in five innings in absorbing the loss.
