ATLANTA -- Arizona manager Kirk Gibson found no fault with Josh Collmenter after the right-hander settled down in the third inning.
Emanuele Giaccherini Italy Jersey . Collmenter gave up a career-high 11 hits, and the Diamondbacks couldnt solve
Ervin Santana or the Atlanta bullpen in a 5-2 loss to the Braves on Friday
night. "He went out there and did the best he could and got through six innings.
We were unable to score runs," Gibson said. Freddie Freeman drove in two runs,
and Santana won his second straight start for Atlanta, which stretched its
winning streak to eight games. Arizona began the night tied with Houston for the
most losses in the majors with 51. The Diamondbacks have lost seven of 11. "Were
trying everything we can to turn around things, but its not happening," third
baseman Martin Prado said. "Were trying to have good at-bats and everything. I
feel like were pretty close. Theres a bunch of guys having good at-bats." After
earning three victories from June 20-28, Collmenter (7-5) allowed five runs, one
walk, and struck out three in six-plus innings. The Braves have won 10 of 11 to
move 10 games over .500 for the first time since April 29. They lead the NL East
by 1 1/2 games. Santana (7-5) gave up six hits and two runs with one walk and
six strikeouts in 7 1-3 innings. The Braves made it 2-0 in the first on Freemans
RBI single and Jason Heywards RBI groundout. Atlanta went up 4-1 in the third on
Andrelton Simmons bases-loaded RBI single and Justin Uptons RBI walk, but
Collmenter stranded the bases loaded when Heyward popped out. Collmenters night
ended after Simmons led off the seventh with a double. Oliver Perez, the next
Arizona pitcher, allowed another RBI single by Freeman to make it 5-1. "I wasnt
missing so much up in the zone as missing over the plate, enough for them to get
a piece of the ball," Collmenter said. "I just didnt capitalize on my
opportunities when I could have made a pitch." Santana seemed in sync most of
the night, but that hasnt been the case over the last few weeks. After winning
2-0 against the Cubs on May 10, Santana went 1-5 with a 5.96 ERA over his next
eight starts before earning a 10-3 victory last Saturday at Philadelphia.
"Everything my way is getting back again, so I just have to keep it up," Santana
said. "Keep my mind positive and keep working down in the zone." Santana retired
11 straight before Didi Gregorius singled to begin the eighth. He left the game
one out later when Ender Inciarte singled. After Luis Avilan retired David
Peralta on an RBI forceout, Jordan Walden gave up a double to Paul Goldschmidt
before striking out Miguel Montero to end the threat. In the ninth,
Craig Kimbrel struck out Prado, retired Gerardo Parra on a groundout and got
Nick Ahmed to fly out for his 27th save in 31 chances. Arizona cut the lead to
2-1 in the second when Prado led off with a single, moved to second and third on
groundouts and scored on Santanas wild pitch. Santana didnt make many mistakes.
"He was spotting," Prado said. "I saw him pretty good, but he was commanding his
fastball. They took advantage of the first inning and scored a couple runs, and
that was good enough for him." NOTES: Collmenter allowed 10 hits in a 6-0 loss
at Detroit on June 25, 2011. ... The Braves announced a sellout with a
season-high crowd of 48,815. ... Freeman, who went 2 for 4, is hitting .365 over
his last 19 games. ... Atlantas bullpen has a 0.42 ERA over a span of 21 2-3
innings during the eight-game winning streak. ... Peralta went 2 for 4 and is
hitting .406 over his last nine games. ... Perez had stranded 10 straight
inherited runners before Freeman drove in Simmons.

well and what didnt go so well. Hopefully this year we will be better," Brendan
Gallagher said after practice. This year, the Canadiens have a little more depth
to work with by adding players like Daniel Briere, Dale Weise, Mike Weaver,
Douglas Murray and arguably, the biggest addition to this playoff roster, Thomas
Vanek, who the Canadiens were able to land at the trade deadline.
Giacomo Bonaventura Italy Jersey . 1. HUGE GAME: Im here in NYC for the Raptors at Nets game Monday night. Some games are
just bigger than others and this is one of them. Four games separate them for
first place in the Atlantic. Tie-breaker at stake, as well. A win by the Raps
would be a major step with only 20 games to play beyond this one.Flushing, NY
