ATLANTA, May 21 (UPI) -- Jeff Francoeur and Chipper Jones homered as part of a 14-hit attack Wednesday, sending Atlanta coasting past the New York Mets 11-4.

Francoeur had a streak of 370 consecutive games played snapped Tuesday when he was held out of the second game of a doubleheader. He returned to the lineup Wednesday and went 3-for-4 with four RBI.

He had an RBI triple during Atlanta's three-run third, singled in another run in the fifth and hit a two-run homer in the sixth.

Jones produced the 398th home run of his career, a solo shot in the fifth, but left the game in the seventh when he was hit by a pitch and suffered a bruised right shin.

Atlanta won its fourth straight.

Jair Jurrjens (5-3) gave up only one earned run over seven innings to get the win, the fifth for the Braves over the Mets in Atlanta this season.

Mike Pelfrey (2-5) took the loss, allowing six runs on eight hits in four-plus innings. He has dropped five straight starts.
