Braves' Jones looks to continue to terrorize Mets

Apr 25, 2008 - 1:46 PM Atlanta (11-11) at NY Mets (11-10) 7:10 pm EDT

FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) - Chipper Jones likes Shea Stadium so much he named his son Shea.

Jones looks to remain red-hot on Friday as the Atlanta Braves visit the New York Mets in the opener of a three-game series.

The 36-year-old Jones celebrated his birthday on Thursday by going 3-for-3 with a home run to help the Braves to a 7-4 victory over the Florida Marlins.

The 15-year veteran will likely be sad to see the Mets leave Shea for Citi Field next season, as he is hitting .310 with 19 home runs and 54 RBI in 86 games at the 44-year-old venue.

Mike Pelfrey (2-0, 3.18 ERA) will need to be on his game to slow Jones, who leads baseball with a .442 batting average. Pelfrey allowed four runs and 10 hits in five innings of a 5-4 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday.

The Mets, trying to rebound from a 10-5 loss to Washington on Thursday, face Braves righthander Jair Jurrgens.

Jurrgens (2-2, 3.20) allowed one run and three hits with a career-high eight strikeouts in seven innings of a 6-1 victory over Los Angeles on Sunday.
