MINNEAPOLIS -- The Braves have struggled to score runs this year, ranking last in the majors in that department. Justin Reid Jersey . As a result, its been rare that an Atlanta starting pitcher has been gifted an early lead to work with.Thanks to Freddie Freeman, the Braves bucked both trends Wednesday night.Freeman homered, doubled and tied a career high with five RBI as the Braves held off the Twins 9-7 for a two-game sweep.Atlanta finished the game with 16 hits, with each player in the lineup getting at least one.It was nice to see that, nice to get on board early, Freeman said. We were able to continue it all the way to the fifth and sixth inning. Thats all we needed tonight. The bullpen was fantastic.Freeman went 4 for 4 with a walk, driving in five runs for the fifth time in his career. His 18th homer gave the Braves a 7-0 lead in the fourth inning.The Twins closed to 8-7 in the sixth on an RBI grounder by Joe Mauer. Nick Markakis singled home a run in the Atlanta eighth.Mike Foltynewicz (4-4) got the win despite giving up seven runs and 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings. Jim Johnson pitched the ninth for his fourth save.Hard-throwing righty Mauricio Cabrera also played a big role out of Atlantas bullpen. He struck out three batters in 1 1/3 innings, hitting 101 mph on the Target Field radar gun.Cabrera picked up a big strikeout of Miguel Sano to end a Twins threat in the sixth and pitched a scoreless seventh inning to keep it a one-run game.We talked the other night about bringing him into stressful innings, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker. I think more than probably 80 percent of the times Ive brought him in, its been game on the line or a big situation. His presence is really, really good.Twins starter Tyler Duffey (5-8) was chased in the second. The right-hander gave up five runs on eight hits, including a two-run homer by Jeff Francoeur in the first inning.It was the second straight outing in which Duffey has lasted less than three innings.Its really frustrating when it piles up like that, and you give up the singles, and you give up the hard-hit ball, Duffey said. Watching a game like that, we come back fighting like that, end up losing, and it started with me.Atlanta and Minnesota entered the series with the two worst records in the majors. The Braves are 35-66, the Twins are 37-63.The Braves are now 9-5 in regular-season matchups against the team it lost to in the 1991 World Series.Freeman added a two-run homer in the fourth off Michael Tonkin. It was the third four-hit game of the season for Freeman, who leads the Braves with 106 hits.A day after getting shut out, the Twins scored in the fourth on a double by Eddie Rosario. Kurt Suzuki added a two-run homer later in the inning.We pecked away at them, got back into the game, Twins manager Paul Molitor said. They added on a couple that proved to be the difference at the end of the game. But we had chances right down to the end.BRAVES MAKE A DEALPrior to the game, Atlanta dealt right-hander Lucas Harrell and left-hander Dario Alvarez to the Texas Rangers for infield prospect Travis Demeritte.Demeritte, 21, represented the United States in this months All-Star Futures Game in San Diego. In 88 games with High A High Desert, he batted .272 with 25 home runs and 59 RBI.In five starts with the Braves this year, Harrell was 2-2 with a 3.38 ERA. Alvarez made 16 relief appearances this season for Atlanta and had a 3.00 ERA in 15 innings.UP NEXTBraves: Return to Atlanta to begin a four-game series against Philadelphia beginning Thursday. Right-hander Matt Wisler (4-10, 4.92 ERA) will start for the Braves.Twins: Host Baltimore on Thursday for a makeup of a game that was rained out on May 9. Right-hander Kyle Gibson (3-6, 4.67) starts for Minnesota. DeAndre Hopkins Jersey . Zvonareva, who won the tournament in 2009 and 10, couldnt handle her opponents big groundstrokes in only her third event back after 17 months out with a shoulder injury. Zvonareva made her comeback in January in Shenzhen and played in the Australian Open but lost her first matches at both tournaments. Buddy Howell Jersey . The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead. The Czechs pulled two back in the ninth, but Shusters team of third Jeff Isaacson, second Jared Zezel and lead John Landsteiner ended with another point to secure the last Olympic berth on offer. http:///...l-lamm-jersey-online . Pedro scored from a pass by Lionel Messi in the 33rd minute and added two more goals in the 47th and 72nd after Valdes saved his second penalty in four days following his stop in Wednesdays 4-0 over Ajax in the Champions League. Kent Austin bristles politely at the use of the word rebuilding as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats new head coach and general manager prepares to get down to work. "I dont believe in rebuilding," he said Monday in the CFLs last pre-season league conference call, with rookie camps set to start in a few days and main camps opening on the weekend. "I believe in putting together a team right from the jump that has the ability to compete for championships." It would be a big jump for the Ticats, after finishing last in the league in 2012 (although the Winnipeg Blue Bombers shared the same 6-12 record). But the Ticats did it in a pretty novel way, scoring both the most points in the league and also giving up the most. Austin wasnt throwing out much praise or much blame Monday, although he did express confidence in returning veteran quarterback, Henry Burris, starting just his second season with the Ticats and his 14th in the CFL. It doesnt seem misplaced after Burris set Ticats single-season records in passing yards, completions and passing touchdowns, while also setting the single-game passing completions record with 37 at Toronto on Nov. 1. "We feel there are lots of areas where we are comfortable with the quality of our personnel," was about all Austin would say. Instead, he said he and his coaches need to start working with their players at camp before they can really make any detailed judgments. "My staff has not coached these guys and certainly not coached these guys live when the bullets are flying," he said. "Well have a better idea of where were at and how quickly it will take us to rise to a level of being able to compete week in and week out after we get the pads on these guys." The changes they have made have helped make the team more athletic and faster, he added. "We needed to get faster as a football team on both sides of the ball," he said. Dylan Cole Jersey. He also wasnt looking to make any excuses in advance for an unusual season that will see the Ticats play their home games at the University of Guelph, as a new stadium is built on the site of Ivor Wynne. Hamilton is getting the new field thanks to money earmarked for the 2015 Pan American Games and team president Scott Mitchell said renovations will be complete this weekend on their temporary home, which will seat between 13,000 and 14,000. "Football has a way to make you uncomfortable in a lot of areas," said Austin. "We will focus our team in eliminating all of the distractions." One distraction that could be eliminated very soon is the issue of whether Chris Williams will suit up again this season for Hamilton. With a rumoured NFL deal in his pocket, last seasons outstanding special teams winner in the CFL wants to be released from his contract and his challenge has gone to arbitration. The Ticats are now waiting for the decision. "I would say at this stage its probably not looking good," said Austin. The Ticats have drafted two game plans -- one with and one without the talented receiver and punt return juggernaut. He scored a league-leading 17 touchdowns last season (a new team record), racked up 1,298 receiving yards and 1,117 receiving yards and was named the CFLs most outstanding special teams player. Veteran offensive lineman Marwan Hage insisted Monday that Williams would have no problems with his teammates if he did return to the lineup, no matter how unlikely that might seem right now. "Hes part of this family," he said. "When he comes in hes going to be welcomed as part of this family as part of this team and well just move on. This has nothing to do with us as players."
