The vastly under-appreciated (by me too) Jair Jurrjens was named N.L. Pitcher of the Month. Jurrjens has become the staff ace on a team with four potential aces. His stuff isn't overpowering, but it seems to dance in the strike zone. I remember Andy Benes used to throw 98 mph but it was dead straight. Jurrjens is a low 90s guy whose velocity and movement has made him a great pitcher.
The Braves pitching continues to be stellar and is what makes the team a World Series contender even with its pitiful offense.
