ATLANTA – Martin Prado is on a roll, and that means good things for the Atlanta Braves.
Prado homered and drove in three runs, Jair Jurrjens took a perfect game into the sixth inning and Atlanta beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3 on Saturday.
Prado is 12-for-27 (.444) with three homers – one a grand slam – and eight RBIs in his last six games.
“I think we know who the player of the week is going to be this week,” said Atlanta’s Chipper Jones, who called Prado’s surge “typical Prado.”
“When he gets it going right, roll with it,” Jones said.
