Meister der Farbe » r rules.Penn: the Quakers are 65-95 all-time

NEW YORK -- Start-by-start over the years, the Atlanta Braves have seen Mike Minor emerging as a young, talented pitcher. Perhaps as a hitter, too. Minor homered for his first two RBIs in the majors and struck out 10 as the Braves posted their second win in a matter of hours, beating the New York Mets 6-0 Saturday for their eighth straight victory. "Hes been fun to watch," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said, later adding, "hes a good athlete." Earlier, Dan Uggla hit a go-ahead single in the 10th inning and the Braves won 7-5 in the resumption of a game suspended because of rain Friday night after eight innings with the score tied. Minor (6-2) then pitched 7 1-3 innings of three-hit ball, sending the Mets to their fifth loss in a row overall and eighth straight at Citi Field. Minor was hardly a force at the plate coming in -- he was a paltry 8 for 108 (.074) in four seasons, striking out in exactly half of those at-bats. He perked up for his first two-hit game in the majors. "Streaky," he kidded. In the third inning, Minor singled to become the Braves first baserunner of the game, and a bat boy brought him a warmup jacket on a blustery, cool evening. The next time up in the fifth, with a light rain, the 25-year-old lefty never had time to get chilly. Despite gusts that kept knocking down fly balls, Minor hit a two-run drive inside the left field foul pole off Dillon Gee (2-6) that broke a scoreless tie. "Got to have power, like me," Minor said with a grin. Minor homered for the first time since his senior year of high school, and it touched off a five-run burst. Minor connected after a two-out single by Chris Johnson, and they smiled the whole way from home plate back to the bench. Minors teammates celebrated the shot, too, and big first baseman Freddie Freeman hugged the pitcher and playfully jumped up and down with him in the dugout. Catcher Brian McCann, however, reminded Minor that there was still work to do on the mound. "Didnt try to live in that moment of the home run," Minor said. The Braves got six straight hits in their surge, including doubles by Justin Upton and Andrelton Simmons and singles by Jason Heyward and Freeman. "All of a sudden, seemed I just got in the stretch and I just lost it," Gee said. "I got to keep looking forward, keep working hard. If I keep looking back on the past theres nothing good there right now," he said. There was a brief delay when Minor batted in the seventh because the wind whipped up the dirt and blew more than 150 hot dog wrappers and other pieces of debris all over the field. Stadium workers cleared the mess when the half-inning ended, shortly after Freemans second RBI single. There was a fireworks show after the game. The seats were nearly empty, with few bundled-up fans sticking around. The Braves and Mets took 42 minutes to complete the resumption, and there was a 36-minute break between the games. The suspended game picked up right where it left off, at the start of the ninth inning. There was no national anthem, fans were scattered in the stands and it was cloudy and windy with temperatures in the low 50s. After Upton grounded into an inning-ending double play with runners at the corners in the Atlanta ninth, the Braves won it in the 10th. Freeman, who homered Friday night before the rain came, drew a leadoff walk from Brandon Lyon (1-2) and took third on a double by McCann. Uggla, who hit a late home run the previous night at Citi Field, followed with his tiebreaking single. B.J. Upton later squeezed home pinch-runner Jordan Schafer. Anthony Varvaro (2-0) pitched a scoreless ninth. He worked the eighth a day earlier and gave up two runs that made it 5-all. Craig Kimbrel escaped a two-on, no-out jam in the 10th for his 15th save in 18 tries. The Braves previous suspended game was April 5, 1997, against the Cubs -- it was the second game ever played at Turner Field and was stopped because of rain in the seventh inning. Atlanta won the resumption the next day. The Mets lost in their first suspended game since Aug. 6, 1986, when the second game of a doubleheader against the Cubs was halted after the seventh for darkness -- Wrigley Field didnt have lights then. The Mets won the completion the next day. NOTES: The Braves pitched their fourth shutout of the season. The Mets have been blanked three times. ... Atlanta has won five straight at Citi Field. ...

Unfortunately, I wasnt making any shots in the first half. I just wanted to take better shots in the second half, open shots to get me going.After shooting 1 of 8 from the field in the first half, Newton converted five of his eight attempts and five-of-six free throws in the second half.The Hurricanes (3-0) were never threatened after a 16-3 run midway through the second half. Consecutive 3-pointers from D.J. Valsijevic and Bruce Brown capped the surge and increased Miamis lead to 59-38 with 10:28 remaining in the half.That was definitely the tale of two halves, Miami coach Jim Larranaga said. In the first half we were challenging the defense rather than attacking and sharing the ball. I tried to explain to the team at halftime we werent finding the open man.Brown finished with 15 points and Davon Reed, Valsijevic and Dewan Huell scored 11 points each for the Hurricanes, who experienced their first deficit of the season when the Quakers ran off eight unanswered points for an 8-4 lead early in the game. Miami opened the season with lopsided victories over Western Carolina and North Florida.It was good for us, Larranaga said of Penns early lead. It was a good challenge -- a very different kind of team. You can see how they move on offense. They really share the ball.Playing a team like that is very different than playing the teams weve played so far and even some of the teams were going to play a little later on in the season.A.J. Brodeur scored 16 points to lead the Quakers (1-1). Caleb Wood shot 4-of-5 from the field and was Pennns second double figure scorer with 11 points.dddddddddddd.I liked how we competed, particularly in the first half, Penn coach Steve Donahue said. We got very casual during that stretch with the ball that they made that big run put it up by 20. But besides that I thought we competed.STARTER SIDELINED: Miami sophomore center Ebuka Izundu sat out Saturdays game because of a sprain to his lower left extremity he suffered in Miamis victory over North Florida on Wednesday.
