ATLANTA -- Even without an effective change-up, Julio Teheran still had enough to pitch into the ninth inning. "I decided to just compete with my other pitches," he said. "I know my fastball is good, my two-seamer, so I just tried to command my curve and my slider." Teheran pitched 8 1-3 strong innings, Dan Uggla hit a three-run homer and the Atlanta Braves won their fourth straight game with a 5-1 victory over the struggling Minnesota Twins on Monday. Teheran (3-1) gave up five hits, one run -- Josh Willinghams homer in the ninth -- and one walk. He struck out four, throwing 80 of his 123 pitches for strikes. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez gave Teheran a chance to finish the game, but he and pitching coach Roger McDowell had agreed before the ninth that they wouldnt let the 22-year-old go past 125 pitches. Teheran noticed in his pregame bullpen session that he wouldnt be able to rely too much on his change-up. He tried it against a few batters early in the game, but stuck with what was working instead of forcing the pitch on catcher Gerald Laird. "For the experience of being out there in the ninth inning -- maybe he was a little tired -- but youve got to dig deep a little bit," Gonzalez said. "It was good for him." Cory Gearrin earned his first career save by retiring pinch-hitter Oswaldo Arcia on a flyout that gave Minnesota its sixth straight loss. The previous longest career outing for Teheran was seven innings, a mark he reached in a no-decision April 29 against Washington and a May 9 victory at San Francisco. After rallying in the late innings to win three straight from the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend, Atlanta jumped on Twins starter Kevin Correia (4-4) early. "He said it -- his arm was dragging tonight," Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He just couldnt get the whip in it, couldnt get the ball where he wanted to, I think. Normally hes really good locating the baseball, and he was up." In the first, Freddie Freeman had an RBI single, and Uggla hit his eighth homer, a three-run shot, to make it 4-0. Juan Francisco led off the fourth with a double, moved to third on Teherans sacrifice bunt and scored on Andrelton Simmons sacrifice fly RBI for a 5-0 lead. Correia had his shortest outing in nine starts this season. In four innings, he allowed eight hits, a season-high five runs and one walk. Correia recorded no strikeouts for the first time this year and the first time as a starter since April 29, 2012, when he and the Pittsburgh Pirates lost in Atlanta. "I didnt have real good command of pretty much anything, really," Correia said. "I was kind of getting away with it there after the first. I was able to kind of weasel my way through a couple innings, I guess." Ryan Pressly pitched the fifth and sixth for Minnesota, allowing one walk and striking out one. Caleb Thielbar, recalled from Triple-A Rochester earlier in the day, worked the seventh and eighth, giving up a single and striking out three. Teheran allowed a single to Justin Morneau in the first, faced the minimum in the second and gave up a leadoff single to Aaron Hicks in the third. Morneau singled to begin the fourth and moved to second on a walk, but Teheran ended the threat with a flyout and a groundout. Teheran, a 22-year-old in his first full season, held Minnesota to just one base runner -- Willingham, who was hit by a pitch in the sixth -- over the next four innings. In his past five starts, the 22-year-old right-hander is 3-1 with a 2.41 ERA. Teheran retired Morneau on a flyout to begin the ninth, but Willingham hit his sixth homer and Trevor Plouffe singled to end the pitchers night. Luis Avilan faced the next two batters. Parmelee singled and pinch-hitter Ryan Doumit flew out before Gearrin retired Arcia. Teheran credited Laird with helping him stay on point. "Everything he wanted, I tried to pitch," Teheran said. "If I did shake him, he got me to throw it where he wanted me to. I shook him like twice the whole game. I did it in the seventh inning, and he got mad at me. But I know that sometimes I get confused, and he helped me with that."

Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.

He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season. The stunner When youre hot, youre hot. Steven Smith followed up his 164 with a catch at slip to get rid of Kane Williamson, and then a truly special take at backward point to end BJ Watlings innings. Watling slashed hard at a short, wide ball from Mitchell Marsh, and Smith, with barely any time to react, dived to his left to pluck a remarkable catch. When he got up off the turf, even Smith looked surprised at his achievement.The sitter Occasionally in international cricket - very occasionally - you see a fielder fluff a chance so easy that it looks almost harder to drop than to catch. Such was the case when Travis Head tried to drive James Neesham over mid-off, but failed to gain the necessary elevation. The ball came straight to Matt Henry, who only had to lift his hands to head height to take the straightforward catch. He got his hands there all right, but the ball inexplicably slipped straight through them. Head was on 7 at the time, and went on to make 52.The 13th man Its been a big few days for Glenn Maxwell. On Thursday, he caused controversy with his comments about batting behind Matthew Wade at Victoria. On Saturday, Smith announced that Maxwell had been fined by the team leadership group for the comments, but was available for selection in this match. But Maxwell was left out of the XI, and was not even listed as 12th man, with James Faulkner officially nominated instead. And yet, when Maxwell made an appearance on the field during New Zealands chase, he took a potentially match-defining catch. Martin Guptill, already on 114, pulledd Adam Zampa to midwicket, where Maxwell parried the ball up and caught it on the second take.dddddddddddd Not surprisingly, he was all smiles - and so were his team-mates.The run-out It has been a tough month for Marsh. Dropped from the Test side after the opening match against South Africa in Perth, he now faces an uncertain future in the baggy green. But he remains a first-choice one-day player for the time being, and was chosen ahead of Faulkner, Maxwell and Hilton Cartwright in Sydney. When he walked out to bat at No.5, with Australia on 3 for 89, the opportunity was there to build a big innings. But Marsh had faced only three balls when he backed up too far - so far that Neesham could have mankaded him - and was caught short when Smiths straight drive rocketed through Neeshams hands and onto the stumps.The quick impact All week in the lead-up to this series, Lockie Ferguson has been the subject of discussion. After all, a fast bowler who can top 150 kph is a rare beast indeed. Would he live up to the hype? His first ball was 146.8 kph and was slammed down the ground for four by David Warner. His second ball cracked 150.4 kph, and then a 149.6 kph third delivery beat the bat. Then came 148.5 kph, then a short ball at 147.1 kph that was pulled for four. But off last ball of the over, Ferguson got some bounce at 148.5 kph and Warner chopped on, giving Ferguson his first international wicket, in his first over. ' ' '
