SAN DIEGO (AP) - A few timely hits could have changed the complexion of the San Diego Padres' game against Jair Jurrjens and the Atlanta Braves.

The Padres couldn't deliver and ended up losing 10-1 Saturday night.

Jurrjens pitched six strong innings to become the first 10-game winner in the NL and the Braves had eight extra-base hits. Dan Uggla hit a three-run homer and finished with four RBIs for Atlanta, which has won five of six and 12 of 17 overall.

Jurrjens (10-3) combined with three relievers on a four-hitter and lowered his NL-leading ERA to 2.07. He joined CC Sabathia of the Yankees and Detroit's Justin Verlander as 10-game winners.

Jurrjens has won his last three starts against San Diego, including his first career complete game, an 8-2 victory at Petco Park on April 26. On Saturday night, the right-hander held San Diego to one run and three hits.

The Braves rebounded one night after they were held to four hits in an 11-2 loss to the Padres.

Jason Heyward doubled twice and scored twice, Nate McLouth had two doubles and Chipper Jones had two hits and two RBIs for Atlanta. Uggla capped the scoring with a drive to center with two outs in the ninth off Evan Scribner, his 11th.

Jurrjens' only mistake was allowing a home run to Alberto Gonzalez on the first pitch of the third inning. Gonzalez was starting for the second straight night at third base in place of Chase Headley and went deep for the first time since April 16, 2009, for Washington against Philadelphia.

It was Jurrjens' 14th start. The last Braves pitcher to win 10 games in 14 or fewer starts was Tom Glavine in 2002, in his 14th start.

The Padres had plenty of other chances but failed to capitalize. They had runners on first and second with no outs in the second, fifth and sixth, with runners eventually reaching third in all three innings, but failed to bring them in.

``We couldn't get that one key knock in the early to middle parts of the game to get the momentum on our side, to creep a little closer,' Padres manager Bud Black said.

San Diego's Dustin Moseley (2-7) allowed three runs, two earned, and five hits in 5 2-3 innings. He walked four and struck out three.

``He hung in there,' Black said. ``He pitched well enough to get a win on a lot of nights. A lot of nights, you pitch into the sixth and give up three runs, you're going to win.'

Heyward doubled to right with one out in the first and scored on Jones' single. He doubled to right with one out in the sixth and scored on Freddie Freeman's two-out single.

The Braves added three runs in the eighth. Uggla had an RBI single, Alex Gonzalez an RBI on a suicide squeeze and McLouth an RBI double.

Jordan Schafer tripled leading off the ninth and scored on Jones' double.

NOTES: RHP Joe Ross, the second of two first-round picks by the Padres in the amateur draft, threw and took batting practice before the game. Ross, from Bishop O'Dowd High in Oakland, hasn't decided whether to sign with the Padres or enroll at UCLA. He said he's spoken with C Austin Hedges, a second-round pick who's also committed to UCLA. Ross said he'd like to play with Hedges, who's from Junipero Serra High in San Juan Capistrano. San Diego's top pick, infielder Cory Spangenberg, became the first first-round selection from this year's draft to sign. ... Headley sat out again with a right shoulder injury.
