MIAMI (AP) — An early run was enough for the Marlins to end their frustrations against the Braves.Dan Straily combined with three relievers on a three-hitter
Ryne Sandberg Jersey , and Miami snapped a seven-game losing streak against Atlanta with a 1-0 victory Friday night.Straily (5-6) allowed three hits, walked one and struck out four in six innings for his first win since June 20. He retired the final nine batters he faced after Freddie Freeman’s leadoff single in the third. That was Atlanta’s final hit of the game.“These are the kind of wins that when you look back at the season, I’m not going to say turning point by any means, but everyone talks about (how) good teams win the 1-0 ballgames,” Straily said. “We took a first-place team and beat them 1-0. It shows you we are capable. We just have to believe in ourselves and keep playing as hard as possible.”Dayron Guerrero and Drew Steckenrider worked the seventh and eighth, and Adam Conley pitched a perfect ninth for his first save in his second opportunity.Atlanta pinch hitter Adam Duvall hit a deep drive to start the ninth that right fielder Rafael Ortega ran down. Conley retired Freeman and Nick Markakis to end it.“You hit a roadblock sometimes in baseball,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “That’s why we play 162. They battled to the end. You’ve got to tip your hats to Straily and the ‘pen over there for pitching well.”The win was Miami’s first over Atlanta since July 24. The first-place Braves maintained a three-game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East.“It’s really satisfying, especially the way we got it,” Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson said. “Our pitching did an incredible job today
Billy Williams Jersey , just up and down. We got the timely hit that we’ve been waiting for.”Mike Foltynewicz (10-8) retired the first 11 Marlins hitters until Anderson’s double to left-center in the fourth. Derek Dietrich followed with an RBI single that gave Miami its only run.“Obviously that hit there, you don’t look at a 1-0 (final),” Miami manager Don Mattingly said. “Guys did a nice job coming out of the ‘pen and got some big outs for us.”Foltynewicz allowed two hits, walked two and struck out eight in six innings. The Marlins also got only three hits in the game.“Everything was kind of working,” Foltynewicz said. “The slider was backing up in the last few innings, but other than that the fastball command was there, the life, and off-speed. I’m still a work in progress.”The Braves threatened in the second, when Straily allowed a one-out double to Johan Camargo and walked Ozzie Albies. Straily induced an inning-ending double-play grounder from Tyler Flowers.REALMUTO’S STRUGGLESJ.T. Realmuto went 0 for 3 and is now hitless in his last 16 at-bats. Realmuto’s last hit came in a 2-for-5 performance against Washington on Sunday. He remains one home run shy of tying his regular-season high of 17.SLICK GLOVE WORKBraves shortstop Dansby Swanson stretched and retrieved pinch-hitter Isaac Galloway’s grounder toward center field in the seventh. Swanson used his glove to flip the ball to second baseman Albies and retire Miguel Rojas on a forceout.TRAINER’S ROOMBraves: C Kurt Suzuki missed his third straight game because of bruised left triceps. Suzuki sustained the injury after he was hit by a pitch in the ninth inning of Atlanta’s game against Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Manager Brian Snitker said Suzuki was available to pinch-hit.Marlins: As expected
Jon Lester Jersey , LHP Jarlin Garcia was placed on the 10-day disabled list. Garcia was hit on the left leg by a line drive from Atlanta’s Nick Markakis in the fifth inning of Thursday’s series opener. To make room for Garcia, Miami reinstated RHP Kyle Barraclough from the DL. … The Marlins placed RHP Elieser Hernandez on the 10-day DL because of a blister on his pitching hand and recalled RHP Ben Meyer from Triple-A New Orleans.UP NEXTBraves RHP Anibal Sanchez (6-4, 3.13 ERA) will start the third game of the series on Saturday. LHP Wei-Yin Chen (4-9, 5.20) will start for Miami. NEW YORK (AP) — Another day, another big swing for Giancarlo Stanton.The slugger just loves this time of year.Stanton hit one of New York’s four homers, Luis Severino struck out eight while pitching into the sixth inning and the Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 11-6 on Saturday.Didi Gregorius, Miguel Andujar and Greg Bird also connected as New York moved 31 games over .500, matching a season high. Andujar had three hits and three RBIs and Gregorius also drove in three runs.“We’ve just been a tough out,” Stanton said. “One through nine has just been grinding the pitcher down and getting into good counts and doing damage.”Stanton belted a long drive for the second straight day
http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-david-ross-jersey , this time a 412-foot solo shot with two out in the fourth for his 32nd homer of the season.The 28-year-old Stanton got off to a slow start in his first year with New York after he was acquired in an offseason trade with Miami. He hit just .198 with four homers and 12 RBIs in his first 20 games.But those days seem like a long time ago now. He has seven homers in his last 12 games and is batting .323 (23 for 71) in August. He hit .349 with 18 homers for last August with the Marlins.“I knew I had a big hole to dig out of,” Stanton said. “But I don’t ever doubt my craft or my work. Sometimes in this game, (it) takes longer than you expect or want.”Stanton has helped carry the load for New York while Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez have been sidelined with injuries. Stanton himself has been limited to designated-hitter duties because of a sore left hamstring, but he is hoping to return to the field during an interleague series at Miami on Tuesday and Wednesday.“He’s an elite-level slugger,” manager Aaron Boone said. “He’s a big reason why we’ve been able to continue to win games.”Toronto has lost three straight and four of six. Billy McKinney, who came over when the Blue Jays traded J.A. Happ to the Yankees last month, had two hits and two RBIs against his former team, but Sean Reid-Foley (0-2) was hit hard in his second major league start.“There’s a ton of talent,” Toronto manager John Gibbons said of his young players. “They’re just trying to harness it (and) put the whole game together.”The Yankees scored in each of the first five innings. Gregorius hit a two-run shot in the first for his 22nd homer. Andujar added a two-run double in New York’s three-run third
http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-david-ross-jersey , and then hit a solo drive in the fifth for his 20th homer.Reid-Foley was charged with eight runs, six earned, and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out six and walked three.Severino (16-6) won for just the second time in his last seven starts. The All-Star right-hander allowed two runs and six hits in five-plus innings, moving into a tie with Washington’s Max Scherzer for the major league lead in wins.Toronto took advantage of a pair of errors to score five times in the sixth. McKinney had a bases-clearing single, but was thrown out trying to reach third after right fielder Neil Walker mishandled the ball.Bird homered in the eighth as the Yanks scored three times off two relievers to create a little breathing room. Nine different Yankees have at least 10 homers.QUITE THE IMPRESSIONToronto rookie Danny Jansen is the 11th player, and first catcher, in team history with at least one hit in each of his first four major league games. He doubled in the second inning against New York.TRAINER’S ROOMYankees: C Austin Romine was hit by a Richard Urena foul tip in the fifth. The shortstop fouled off Severino’s 98-mph fastball and knocked off Romine’s mask. Plate umpire David Rackley prevented Romine from falling, holding him until he regained his footing. Romine initially remained in the game, but was replaced by Kyle Higashioka in the sixth.Blue Jays: RHP Marcus Stroman (blister) expects to miss at least one start and a stint on the disabled list has not been ruled out. Stroman noted the blister is “really deep.”UP NEXTIn a matchup of left-handers
Carlos Zambrano Jersey , Happ (13-6, 3.86 ERA) takes on Toronto’s Ryan Borucki (2-2, 3.29 ERA) on Sunday. Happ has won each of his three starts with the Yankees.
