ATLANTA (AP) - The Atlanta Braves have put together a four-game winning streak. Last night, Chipper Jones hit his 10th homer, Jair Jurrjens pitched six strong innings and the Braves beat the San Diego Padres 5-3.

Mark Kotsay added two hits, including a homer, and drove in two runs. Kotsay also delivered the defensive play of the game in the fifth inning, making an over-the-shoulder catch at the warning track of Tadahito Iguchi's drive.

Jurrjens matched his career high with eight strikeouts and gave up seven hits with a walk and one run in six innings.

San Diego's Chris Young took the loss.

The Braves will send Tim Hudson to the mound tonight against the Padres to try to make it five straight.
