MIAMI -- Atlanta Braves backup catcher Gerald Laird watched the first 12 innings of Monday nights game from the bench and still found himself exhausted at the end.Russell Wilson Seahawks Jersey . "Im so tired," Laird muttered as he collapsed into a chair at his locker shortly before midnight. The Braves went without a baserunner for 24 consecutive batters before their bats came to life in the 14th inning, when they scored six times to beat the Miami Marlins 7-1. Justin Upton broke a tie by driving in two runs when he doubled for Atlantas first hit since the sixth, and Laird added a two-out, two-run single. "Its a weird game," Laird said. "We gave our offence a chance, and we knew we werent going to get shut out all night." Five Miami relievers combined to retire 24 batters in a row before Reed Johnson walked to start the 14th against Chris Hatcher (0-1). Jason Heyward walked with one out, and Uptons double scored both runners. After Lairds hit, Chris Johnson added an RBI single with the bases loaded, and another run scored when the ball skipped past left fielder Justin Ruggiano for an error. Seven relievers for the two teams combined to retire 30 straight hitters from the eighth to the 13th. "Our innings felt like they were going fast," Atlantas Dan Uggla said. "I didnt know what inning it was, but I realized we hadnt had a baserunner in forever. Once Reed got on I thought, OK, maybe something will get sparked right here." David Carpenter (2-0) pitched two innings and escaped a jam in the 13th. The Braves earned their 26th comeback victory, most in the NL, and improved to 11-2 in two years at Marlins Park. "To win that was big," Uggla said. "It stinks to play games like that and then lose." The Marlins fell to 0-13 this season when their retractable roof is open -- sort of. On a balmy 86-degree night, the game began with the roof open, but it was closed in the seventh inning when rain moved into the area. Miami stranded 12 and went 2 for 10 with runners in scoring position. The Marlins first two batters reached in the 13th, but Logan Morrison grounded into a double play and Adeiny Hechavarria popped out. Atlantas Mike Minor allowed six hits and one run in 6 1-3 innings, then watched the rest of the 4-hour, 14-minute game on a clubhouse TV. "I was sitting here forever," he said. "They played more than I pitched. It doubled the game." Minor struck out Jeff Mathis on a 3-2 fastball with the bases loaded to end the sixth and keep the score tied. In the seventh, Miami stole three bases -- two on a double steal -- and still couldnt score. In the ninth, Heyward made a leaping catch at the 392-foot sign in right field to rob Ruggiano of an extra-base hit. "We had tons of opportunities and just couldnt get the big hit," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "In those close games, its going to come down to whos going to get it, and they got it." Ruggianos two-out RBI single in the fifth delivered the Marlins only run. Four pitchers cooled off the Braves Brian McCann, who went 0 for 5. He was batting .512 over the previous 11 games. Kevin Slowey, making his first start since June 12 for Miami, pitched five shutout innings before departing for a pinch hitter after throwing only 69 pitches. Slowey took the spot in the rotation vacated when Ricky Nolasco was traded Saturday to the Dodgers. "Its an odd spot to find yourself in -- throwing early in a long, long game like that and being relegated to cheerleading," Slowey said. Marlins starters have allowed fewer than four runs in 19 of the past 21 games. Dan Jennings followed Slowey to the mound, and the Marlins 1-0 lead was gone two batters later. Heyward hit his first triple of the season and scored on a sacrifice fly by Upton. NOTES: After the game, the Marlins optioned Hatcher to Triple-A New Orleans. ... Braves RHP Brandon Beachy (elbow) will make a rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Gwinnett, his first game since his rehab assignment was shut down last month because of inflammation. ... B.J. Upton went hitless and is 1 for 21 (.048) against the Marlins this year. ... Morrison is 2 for 17 this season with runners in scoring position. Doug Baldwin Seahawks Jersey . Bryzgalov stopped 25 shots on Saturday in the Oklahoma City Barons 4-1 victory over the Abbotsford Heat. The Oilers signed Bryzgalov to a one-year $2 million contract last Friday after shedding payroll by dealing defenceman Ladislav Smid to the Flames. Rees Odhiambo Jersey . The Redskins announced Monday that the quarterback who led the team to the Super Bowl championship in the 1987 season will serve as a personnel executive. http:///...-coleman-jersey.aspx . With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds. It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night.(Sports Network) - Mark Buehrle eyes his seventh straight winning decision on Tuesday when the Toronto Blue Jays open a three-game series with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at Rogers Centre. Buehrle got off to a rough start with Toronto, but has turned it around, going 6-0 with a 2.02 ERA over his last nine starts. Overall, he is 11-7 with a 3.88 ERA. "Ive got a couple more starts left, and Im going to go out there and try to finish the season strong," Buehrle said. "Personally, I feel like Im back to where Ive been throughout my career. I just wish we were in a better spot than we are." This is the veteran left-handers best run since posting a 9-0 mark over 14 starts from April 16-June 28, 2005 while with Chicago. Buehrle may have a hard time extending his streak, as he is just 2-7 lifetime versus the Angels with a 4.57 ERA in 21 games (20 starts). He also hasnt beaten them since September of 2008. Toronto is rolling heading into this series after a three-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins over the weekend. Nick Vannett Jersey. In fact the disappointing Jays have won nine of their last 12 and four consecutive series. Los Angeles has also played well of late, winning 12 of its last 17 games. However, the Angels lost a makeup game with the Twins on Monday, falling 6-3. Hoping to get the Halos back into the win column on Tuesday will be righty Jerome Williams, who won for the first time since June 12 his last time out. Williams had been 0-8 with a 6.15 ERA over his 15 previous games (13 starts) before beating Tampa Bay on Thursday. He gave up two runs in 6 1/3 innings of that one to improve to 6-10 to go along with a 4.60 ERA. "Im just going out here and doing my job, trying to do my best," Williams said. "As long as at the end of the day, end of the season, I can look myself in the mirror and say, I did OK, thats fine." The Angels have won three of four from the Jays this season.
