--RF Jeff Francoeur's homer in the fifth inning of Atlanta's Friday win was the first run scored by a base hit by the Braves in 21 innings. Atlanta scored three runs over that span by virtue of bases-loaded walks.
--LF Garret Anderson was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to Monday with a strained left quadriceps muscle. The 36-year-old Anderson has just five hits in 25 at-bats this season.
--OF Brandon Jones was recalled from Class AAA Gwinnett to replace Garret Anderson on the roster. The 25-year-old Jones posted a .308 (16-for-52) batting average and drove in eight runs for the G-Braves.
--3B Chipper Jones celebrated his 37th birthday in atypical style, failing to get a hit in five at-bats. Prior to this one, Jones had been lights out on April 24, batting .500 (18-for-36) with four homers, eight RBIs and 10 runs scored.
--RHP Jair Jurrjens may have not gotten the win in Atlanta's 1-0 win over the Nationals on Wednesday, but he helped the bullpen by pitching deep into the contest. Jurrjens, who hurled 7 2/3 innings of shutout ball, became just the second Braves pitcher to last into the eighth inning this season.
MEDICAL WATCH:
C Brian McCann (blurred vision) missed the April 24 game and may need to be placed on the disabled list.
