It was a tough outing for Jair Jurrjens, as the Braves drop their second spring training game to the Mets.

Chipper Jones hit a monster 2 run homer in the second, which accounted for the entirety of the Braves offense. Jair Jurrjens struggled mightily on the mound, giving up 5 runs on 7 hits in 3 innings of tune up work.

On a brighter note, the Braves young pitchers pitched 5 innings of scoreless baseball, giving up a combined 2 hits and 7 strikeouts.

The battle for middle relief shows no sign of ending until the 25 man rosters are set at the end of Spring Training. Valdez, O'Flaherty, Hale, Lyman and Melden are all competing for reliever spots on the 25-man roster.

Tomorrow, the Braves go up against the Pittsburgh Pirates, with Tommy Hanson making his Spring Training Debut against Ross Ohlendorf.

Tune in at the end of the week, as we break down the position battles for the final 25-man roster!
