PHILADELPHIA -- The Braves followed a familiar pattern -- using timely hitting and stingy pitching -- to complete a four-game sweep of Philadelphia. Wholesale Patriots Jerseys Authentic . B.J. Upton tripled and drove in two runs Sunday to lead streaking Atlanta to a 3-2 victory over the Phillies and their first four-game sweep in Philadelphia in 50 years. Gerald Laird had two hits with a double and RBI for the Braves, who won for the sixth time in seven games while ending their road trip 8-3. Atlanta avenged a three-game sweep by Philadelphia June 16-18 at Turner Field. "We had timely hitting and the pitching was really good," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "You cant ask for more than that." It was the Braves first four-game sweep in Philadelphia since Sept. 24-27, 1964, when the franchise was in Milwaukee and their four wins at Connie Mack Stadium contributed to the Phillies infamous season-ending collapse that year. Marlon Byrd hit a pair of solo home runs for the slumping Phillies, who have lost eight of 10 to drop to 10 games under .500. "It didnt go our way," Phillies slugger Ryan Howard said. "The ball didnt bounce our way. It just wasnt meant to be for us in this series." Chase Utley singled in the seventh inning for his 1,500th career hit. Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman greeted Utley with applause and a pat on the back, and the crowd of 33,215 gave the Phillies second baseman a standing ovation. There wasnt much else for the home fans to cheer. Philadelphia dropped to 18-27 at Citizens Bank Park and fell to 7-35 when scoring three runs or less as the offence continued to struggle. The Phillies were 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position, finishing the series 3 for 32. "Hitting in the clutch and hitting with men on base is a component we have to get better at," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "We came up short in this series. It couldve been a big point for us." Aaron Harang (7-6) got the victory despite allowing 11 hits in seven innings. He gave up two runs, struck out four and walked two. "Harang battled through some tough innings, gave us a great effort," Gonzalez said. "Hes a wily vet." Craig Kimbrel pitched a scoreless ninth, but had to work out of a jam for his 24th save in 28 opportunities. Kimbrel got the first two batters out before consecutive singles by Ben Revere and Jimmy Rollins put runners on first and third for Utley. But Utley flew out to right to end the game. "This was a heck of a series," Upton said. "We really played well. Nobody really tried to do too much. It was a little out of character for us not hitting a lot of home runs, but it all came together for us. Now we just have to keep grinding." David Buchanan (4-4), making his eighth start in place of injured left-hander Cliff Lee, allowed three runs on five hits and five walks in five innings to snap his three-game winning streak. The Braves went ahead 2-0 in the second on Uptons two-run triple off the wall in centre. Harang scored on the play after singling to centre with two outs. The pitcher had been 1 for 25 on the season before the hit. After the first of Byrds two solo homers brought Philadelphia within 2-1 in the bottom of the frame, Lairds RBI double plated Tommy La Stella to push Atlantas advantage back to two runs. It was the fourth extra-base hit in the last three games for La Stella, who had two doubles and a triple in Saturdays doubleheader. In the bottom of the frame, Byrd homered into the Philadelphia bullpen to make it a one-run game again. The Phillies threatened in the sixth when they put runners on first and second with nobody out. But Koyie Hills sacrifice bunt attempt resulted in the lead runner being forced out at third, and pinch-hitter John Mayberry Jr. grounded into an inning-ending double play. Philadelphia had runners on first and third with one out in the seventh when Howard grounded into another inning-ending double play.

The Suns termed Fridays surgery by team doctor Thomas Carter a success. No timetable was given for Bledsoes return but the team said in a news release that he "will pursue a possible return to action during the second half" of the season. Authentic J.C. Jackson Jersey .C. -- Colin Kaepernick raced into the end zone, then pretended to rip open his shirt with both hands imitating Cam Newtons Superman touchdown celebration. http://www.cheappatriotsjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-chad-hansen-jersey . -- The Chicago Bears say they have agreed to a one-year contract with centre Roberto Garza.EDMONTON -- Fred Stamps has 431 career receptions, 6,812 yards and 42 touchdowns, but right now the Edmonton slotback would trade it all in for one victory for the struggling Eskimos. The 31-year-old receiver had eight catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns in the teams heartbreaking 30-27 loss to Saskatchewan last Saturday, statistics that moved Stamps into the top five of all-time Eskimo receivers for catches and yards, and top eight in touchdowns. Yet there he sat, looking as forlorn as any player possibly could; his individual performance meaning very little. "Id give it all for a victory," he said of the individual stats. "I appreciate all the history and tradition. I look up to all the guys who were here before me and its an honour to be mentioned with those guys, but I want a victory." The Eskimos have now lost six straight since beating Hamilton in week two of the CFL season. Their last four games they have lost by a combined total of 12 points. Now they face the 6-2 Calgary Stampeders in the annual Labour Day back-to-back series beginning Monday in Calgary. Destined for the Eskimos Wall of Honour and likely the CFL Hall of Fame, the six-foot, 188-pound Stamps is finding the Eskimos 1-7 season and their recent string of narrow losses difficult to deal with, admitting frustration is mounting in the dressing room. "It is so tough (to take)," he said. "Im just so hungry right now, I want to win. I know theres a lot of history and tradition (with the individual stats) but I just want to win right now." And hes been doing everything in his power to try to get the Eskimos those elusive wins. He leads the league in receiving yards (684) and touchdowns (six) and has been the teams most consistent offensive player all year. Authentic David Andrews Jersey. Just as he has throughout his seven years in the CFL. "Freddies a tremendous player," said quarterback Mike Reilly, who has found Stamps 36 times this season. "Its rare to see a veteran guy, who has had so much success in this league, who is still willing to put in the effort and the time that a rookie whos trying to make the team would. He shows up as if hes still fighting for a roster spot every day." Reilly, a first-year Eskimo, said the veteran is always talking to him, asking about how to run certain routes, how to cut to increase the chances of a successful play or whether doing things one way or another would work. "To see that in a veteran guy whos had so much success and still remains so humble and hungry to continue to get better is rare," Reilly said. "Geroy Simon was like that. Thats what separates the guys who are really great from the guys who are just really, really good. And Freddie is truly great." In an effort to shore up a disappointing defence that is giving up an average of 30 points a game, the Eskimos signed import defensive lineman Nekos Brown and non-import defensive back Ryan Hinds on Wednesday. Hinds was selected in the second round (13th overall) of the 2009 CFL Canadian draft by Hamilton. He had 71 defensive tackles, 10 special teams tackles and an interception in three seasons (2010-12) with the Tiger-Cats. Brown played two games earlier this season with the Toronto Argonauts recording one tackle and one sack. ' ' '
