MINNEAPOLIS -- A.J. Pierzynski has long been the target of boos in Minnesota, where he made his major league debut nearly 18 years ago.Hardly noticed this time during a matchup of the majors worst teams, Atlantas ageless catcher turned in another solid performance.Lucas Harrell pitched six innings, Adonis Garcia homered and the Braves beat the Twins 2-0 on Tuesday night, an untimely meeting nearly 25 years after the Twins beat the Braves in a World Series often mentioned among the most dramatic in history.Pierzynski doubled and scored against the team that drafted him in the third round in 1994. Behind the plate, he helped guide Harrell (2-2) to his first scoreless start in the majors since June 9, 2013, with Houston.The 39-year-old Pierzynski also threw out the fleet-footed Byron Buxton trying to steal third base in the third inning, the first time Buxton was caught in eight attempts this season.Ive always liked it here. I said after the game it was kind of weird that they didnt boo me, said Pierzynski, who was a regular for three seasons for the Twins until being traded to San Francisco in 2003. Then again, I think no one in the stands remembered that I played here, it was so long ago. There were actually some claps, which was a little bit different.Harrell, making his fifth start this month but only his eighth in the majors since the end of the 2013 season, gave up four hits and walked three. The right-hander lowered his ERA to 3.38.I just went along with A.J.s plan and made pitches, and thats what it was all about tonight, Harrell said.The 1991 anniversary celebration was launched by Gene Larkin, who had the winning hit in the 10th inning of Game 7, throwing the ceremonial first pitch. Twins starter Ervin Santana, who logged his second complete game in his last four turns, was prepared to emulate Jack Morris, who pitched 10 innings in the famous Game 7.Sure, there was a little less on the line, but Santana (3-9) needed only 97 pitches for nine innings. Allowing seven hits, Santana struck out five without a walk. He lobbied manager Paul Molitor for a return if the Twins were able to tie the game in the ninth.He was like, `Yeah, you got it, Santana said.But Jim Johnson pitched a perfect ninth for his third save in six attempts, completing a five-hitter that stopped the Braves five-game losing streak. The Twins went 0 for 11 with runners in scoring position and stranded seven runners overall.We just squandered opportunities early and didnt muster late, Molitor said.TRADE TALKInterim general manager Rob Antony said hes not calling other teams to try to trade Santana, who is making $13.5 million this year and is signed through 2018. He went 14-10 for the Braves in 2014.If you trade him, you go into the offseason saying, `We really need another veteran. We need another guy we feel good about and are confident hes going to be able to give us a good outing every five days, Antony said before the game. Im not sure that guys going to be out there, and if he is theres going to be a lot of competition to get him.TRADE TALK, PART TWOHarrell could find himself on the move, too, with the Braves also playing out a lost season.I love Atlanta and the group of guys we have in here, he said. I think this team can build a winner again, and Id love to be here for that.The 31-year-old Harrell was signed as a minor league free agent May 21 after he began the season in Detroits organization.TRAINERS ROOMBraves: RHP Julio Teheran had his next turn in the rotation pushed back two days to Saturday as a precaution. Teheran left his previous start with tightness in his back, but he threw on the side Tuesday without trouble.Twins: 3B Trevor Plouffe, progressing through baseball-like activities in his recovery from a broken rib, will take live batting practice by the weekend and could begin a rehab assignment next week. He has been on the DL since July 4.UP NEXTThe Braves will send RHP Mike Foltynewicz (3-4, 3.79 ERA) to the mound Wednesday in trying to sweep the two-game set. RHP Tyler Duffey (5-7, 5.71 ERA) will pitch for the Twins. Mike Wallace Jersey .

Russias Vladimir Grigorev was third. In the relay, Canada took control six laps from the finish line to beat Russia and the Netherlands. Shelton Gibson Jersey .

Indias Shiv Chowrasia, who has finished runner-up in this tournament twice, was in second place after a 66.Matt Elliott admits Leicester Citys squad has not yet been fully tested as his former side continue their surprise push for a Premier League title. Claudio Ranieris side strengthened their grip at the top of the table with 13 games remaining after beating Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.Elliott, who made more than 200 appearances for the Foxes, says they now have a glorious chance to win the title but admits they will be relying on their key men - Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez - staying injury free. Martin ONeill and Elliott savour League Cup success in 2000 Speaking on Sky Sports Now, Elliott said: The reasons for believing they can do it are growing week by week as long as they keep churning out results and putting in performances like they have. Against Manchester City they were superb and dominated from the off. Its no flash-in-the-pan, people are realising that, and the doubters are diminishing week by week. Leicester WILL win it Leicester have the Premier League title in the bag according to Stuart Pearce There will be joyful scenes across the whole county if they do it. We had good times back in my day winning trophies but what this team is doing would surpass anything we achieved in our time. Just to get in contention for the Champions League spots is a miraculous achievement.Vardy and Mahrez are the two stars of the show but the supporting cast is not doing too bad either. Its imperative that those two stay fit and available. They tried to get in an extra forward during the window but failed, so fingers crossed that those two continue to produce the goods and the goals. Former Leicester defender Matt Elliott explains why they can upset the odds Leicester have been fortunate in comparison to some of their title rivals in terms of injuries and Elliott acknowledges that Ranieri will be praying that situation continues.dddddddddddd. The Foxes have suffered 15 injuries throughout the campaign compared to 51 of fourth-placed Manchester City.The squad has yet to be tested properly and there are some doubts about that but there is some quality on the bench, Elliott said. They have been through a lot together and came through the traumas of last season and I think they can come through again. Who saw Leicester City as Premier League title contenders? One man did and he could make £25,000 if they win. Robert Huths experience in the partnership with Wes Morgan has been vital and he has been scoring vital goals. Hes brought calmness and aggression to the team as well.Danny Drinkwater has been imperious plus NGolo Kante as well. They are the driving force but the whole team is getting stronger week by week.They have been through a pressure situation last season so that will stand them in good stead Also See: Ranieri: Dont look down!
