Braves SP Jair Jurrjens limited the Mets to two hits over six innings Friday to pick up his third win of the season, but it didn't start out so rosy. When Jurrjens' 3-2 pitch to David Wright in the third inning was just outside and called a ball, the pitcher stretched his arms as if to say: "What's wrong with that?" Umpire Tim McClelland then tossed manager Bobby Cox, who ran out to defend his pitcher. "I'm sorry about what I did, showing him up," said Jurrjens, who planned to personally apologize to McClelland on Saturday. "I know I did something wrong, and I'm really sorry about it. I got caught in the game. It was emotion and just reacting." Jurrjens then walked the next two batters, allowing three straight runs to score on bases-loaded walks. He then threw a called third strike past Angel Pagan, starting a streak of 10 straight outs that lasted until his departure.
