He allowed only five earned runs in 36 innings, including a pair of scoreless outings against the Cardinals (eight innings on Sept. 11) and the Marlins (seven innings on Sept. 28). He struck out 21 batters and walked 11 in those five starts.
After losing to Cincinnati on Sept. 5, having allowed three runs in seven innings, Jurrjens won his next four starts, putting up a 0.62 ERA along the way, while holding opponents to a .210 batting average.
Jurrjens finished the season with a career high 14 wins and third in the National League with a 2.60 ERA.
It was the first pitcher of the month award for the 23-year-old Jurrjens. He beat out teammate Javier Vazquez, who went 4-1 with a 2.28 ERA and 46 strikeouts in September as well as Padres' Kevin Correia, who went 3-0 with a 1.25 ERA.
