ATLANTA -- Ramiro Pena got a fierce wakeup call with the bases loaded and the scored tied in the eighth inning. Pena fouled the first pitch off his lower right leg and bent over in anguish. But after he fouled off the next pitch, he hit a sacrifice fly to put the Atlanta Braves ahead to stay. "I needed to keep the focus," Pena said. "Thats a big at-bat right there, so I just tried to make contact and put the ball in play." Pena had a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in a four-run eighth, Jordan Schafer drove in two runs and the Braves rallied against the Los Angeles Dodgers beleaguered bullpen for a 5-2 victory on a rain-soaked Sunday. Kenley Jansen (1-3) was the loser for the second straight game, this time allowing one hit, two runs and a walk while getting just one out in a game twice delayed by rain for a total of 2 hours, 15 minutes. "With a rain delay and getting tired a little bit later, you have to keep concentrating on the game," Pena said. "Everybody did a great job from the beginning (of the eighth), and I think everybody put something in that inning." Jansen began the eighth by allowing a single to Freddie Freeman and walking Brian McCann. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly brought in closer Brandon League for the first time in the series, but he fared no better than his teammate. After Atlanta loaded the bases when third baseman Juan Uribe was charged with a fielding error on Andrelton Simmons sacrifice bunt attempt, League gave up a tying RBI single to pinch-hitter Gerald Laird to make it 2-all. Pinch-runner B.J. Upton scored on Penas sacrifice fly. The Braves added two more runs off League on Chris Johnsons RBI single and a sacrifice bunt by Schafer. Closer Craig Kimbrel earned his third save of the series and 14th in 17 chances as the Braves earned their fourth series sweep this season. Kimbrel struck out Matt Kemp and Adrian Gonzalez before A.J. Ellis walked. Atlanta had retired 19 straight batters before Ellis walk, but Kimbrel ended it with a strikeout of Andre Ethier. "We were on the road a lot and lost a lot of games we felt we should have won," Braves starting pitcher Mike Minor said. "Today we came back in another one from behind and got the sweep." After watching his hitters struggle from the fourth inning on, Mattingly refused to put all the blame on Los Angeles bullpen. "You add on a run here or there, it takes a lot of pressure off a guy that you cant give up one hit that changes the whole game," Mattingly said. "I think we have to take this all as a group." Luis Avilan (2-0) pitched a perfect eighth inning, striking out one. The Dodgers went up 1-0 in the first when Carl Crawford led off with a double, moved to third on Mark Ellis groundout and scored on Gonzalezs RBI single. In the third, Crawford walked, moved to third on Kemps double and crossed the plate on Gonzalezs sacrifice fly to give Los Angeles a 2-0 lead. Los Angeles rookie Matt Magill didnt allow a runner to reach scoring position until the fifth when Pena reached on fielders choice, advanced to second on Minors single and scored on Schafers RBI single to make it 2-1. Magill was chased on Justin Uptons leadoff single in the sixth. J.P. Howell made just two pitches, a pair of strikes to Freeman, when the game was stopped by a second rain delay. This one lasted 33 minutes. Magill, who could lose his spot in the rotation with Ted Lilly likely to come off the disabled list on Monday, gave up four hits, one unearned run and three walks in five-plus innings. Magill has a 5.00 ERA in four starts. Minor allowed three hits and two runs with two walks and a season-high nine strikeouts in six innings. In Atlantas seventh, Mattingly used three pitchers -- Ronald Belisario, Paco Rodriguez and Jansen -- to face five batters. Jansen, who took the loss Saturday by giving up homers to Gattis and Simmons, struck out Justin Upton to end a threat with runners on first and second. The Braves, whose 55 homers rank second in the National League, won without hitting a ball over the fence. They beat the Dodgers Friday on Justin Uptons grand slam off Rodriguez and Saturday with Gattis and Simmons going deep. "Weve been slow out of the gate as an offence (over the last three games), and (the pitching staff has) been able to keep us in the ballgame and keep runs off the board," Justin Upton said. "Thats important in giving us a shot to win." NOTES: The Braves earned their first three-game sweep of the Dodgers since April 18-20, 2008. ... Before Kemp doubled in the third, he had just three hits in 42 career at-bats at Turner Field. ... Mattingly said X-rays on RF Scott Van Slykes left lower leg were negative. Van Slyke hit balls off nearly the same spot on his leg on two consecutive pitches, but finished the at-bat. ... Mark Ellis, out since April 27 with a strained right quadriceps, returned to the lineup and went 0 for 4 with one strikeout.

Its been a long road back, but Lewis said none of that was on his mind when he trotted out onto the Levis Stadium field.I was just thinking about going out there, trying to execute and making sure I didnt make mistakes, he said. I didnt really think about it being my first game in a year.He didnt have to wait long to work out any jitters.On the Patriots first offensive play of the game, quarterback Tom Brady looked in Lewiss direction, but failed to complete a short pass to him in the flat.Brady tried again two plays later with New England facing a short third down, this time connecting with Lewis on a quick screen for a 9-yard gain to put the Patriots inside San Franciscos 15. New England scored the games first touchdown three plays later.Last week, coach Bill Belichick alluded to a certain buildup process likely being needed for any player coming off as long an absence as Lewis.Lewis didnt make it into the end zone Sunday, but rushed five times for 23 yards. He was also targeted five times as a receiver, catching three passes for 26 yards.It was solid production in game in which he played just 21 of 76 offensive snaps.You just have to get used to playing the game, Lewis said. My body feels good. I felt the same as Ive always felt. I just have to get back in a rhythm. The more reps that I get, the more comfortable that Ill be.Lewis waas used as New Englands primary pass-catching running back last season before his injury.dddddddddddd His absence left those duties at the start of the season to James White, who has already matched the career-best four receiving touchdowns he had in 2015.That production has been in complement to LeGarrette Blount and his NFL-leading 12 touchdowns.With Lewis now back in the fold, it gives offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels even more options as the Patriots move deeper into the second half of 2016.It will also likely mean fewer opportunities at times for all three running backs. But Blount said that is secondary for all of them.I love him to death, Blount said of Lewis. Our running back group is probably one of the most close-knit groups on the team, and were always going to have each others back. We dont care about anything personally when it comes to this game. We just want to win games and show each other support.Lewis will likely need a few more games before his involvement in the game plan is at the level it was last season. With one game under his belt he said theres nothing to think about anymore as it pertains to the health of his knee, and that his thoughts are solely about how best he can contribute to the offense.Its challenging, but it can make you or break you, Lewis said. The things that Ive been through in my life prepare me for this moment, and I always push through.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL.---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower ' ' '
