ATLANTA -- A rare burst of Georgia rain following a mostly dry summer helped Freddie Freeman and the Atlanta Braves remain red-hot.Freeman hit his career-high 33rd homer and stretched his career-best hitting streak to 29 games, helping the Atlanta Braves begin their final homestand at Turner Field with a 7-6 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night.The game was twice delayed by weather for a total of 2 hours, 24 minutes. Atlanta overcame a 6-0 deficit to win for the eighth time in nine games and get its fifth straight victory over Philadelphia.I think the rain delay kind of helped; everybody got re-grouped, Freeman said. Things are going through, and Im hitting pitches I was missing early in the season.Mallex Smith and pinch-hitter Emilio Bonifacio had RBI singles in the eighth to lead. David Hernandez (3-4) ended a scoreless streak of 10 2/3 innings and took the loss.Mauricio Cabrera (4-1) got the win for the Braves, and Jim Johnson got his 18th save.The Braves have five games left at Turner Field before moving nine miles north to SunTrust Park for 2017.The Phillies jumped on starter Julio Teheran in the first inning when Ryan Howard hit the 15th grand slam of his career, most ever by a Philadelphia player. His 23 home runs in Turner Field are the most by a visiting player.Philadelphia added two runs in the second inning, and starter Jerad Eickhoff was cruising for the visitors. He retired the first 10 batters he faced before Freemans drive to right field made it 6-1 in the fourth.Neither starter returned after a 1-hour, 53-minute rain delay following the inning, however, and Phillys bullpen struggled from there.If things werent going bad enough, Eickhoff looked like he was having one of his best games and the rain came, said Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin. We got 14 hits, but we stranded 12 runners and ... the bullpen is just not doing the job.Atlanta scored a pair of runs off Severino Gonzalez and two more off Luis Garcia in the sixth on an RBI single by Nick Markakis and a three-run homer by catcher Tyler Flowers to draw within 6-5.Its true to form with what theyve been doing, Atlanta interim manager Brian Snitker said. You dont feel good down six, but I felt good with all the at-bats we had left.FREAKY FREDDIEFreeman, who on Monday was named NL player of the week, added a single on a night when he tied Rowland Office (1976) for the third-longest hitting streak in Braves history (29). The record is 33, by Dan Uggla in 2011. Freeman also reached base for the 45th straight game, the second-longest streak in the majors this season behind Washingtons Jayson Werth (46), and his home run gave him his NL-leading 82nd extra-base hit. The franchise record is 87, set by third baseman Chipper Jones when he won the NL MVP Award in 1999.TRAINERS ROOMPhillies: OF Roman Quinn, who had hits in his first three at-bats, left the game in the sixth inning with a left oblique strain.BOBBY SAYS BYE-BYEFormer Braves manager Bobby Cox received a warm ovation when he pulled the big numeral 6 off the left-field wall in the middle of the fifth inning. Cox led the team from 1978-81 and then from 1990-2010 when they won 14 consecutive division titles, five National League championships and the 1995 World Series. He wore jersey No. 6, which the team has retired, and thats how many games were left in Turner Field before the first pitch.BECKHAM TRADEDAtlanta traded utility infielder Gordon Beckham, an Atlanta native and former University of Georgia standout, to the Giants for minor league infielder Rich Rodriguez. Beckham will not be eligible for postseason play if San Francisco earns a wild-card spot.UP NEXTPhillies: LHP Adam Morgan (2-10, 5.57) has a career ERA of 3.19 in five starts against the Braves.Braves: RHP Mike Foltynewicz (8-5, 4.41) will make his final start as a near lock to lead Atlanta in wins for the year. Hes 1-1 in two career starts against Philadelphia with a 7.94 ERA after allowing five earned runs in 5 2/3 innings in his lone start against the Phillies this season. Yeezy Boost 350 España .

Yeezy 350 Outlet España . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has called for a ceasefire in verbal warfare with Wallabies counterpart Michael Cheika which has plunged trans-Tasman rugby relations to an all-time low.Refusing to be gagged, Cheika on Sunday wasnt backing down after Hansen accusing him of hijacking New Zealands Test world-record celebrations.In a sensational aftermath to Saturday nights Bledisloe Cup series finale in Auckland, Cheika took aim at New Zealand media over being depicted as a clown and then claimed the All Blacks did not respect the Wallabies, suggesting they were involved in the caricature.Seething after being portrayed as an angry clown in a mock up picture in the countrys biggest paper, the New Zealand Herald, alongside the headline send in the clowns, Cheika let rip in an extraordinary rant after Australias 37-10 loss at Eden Park.Hansen hit back at a sulking Cheika and said he needed to be bigger than to take a newspapers barb to heart and that it was wrong to suggest the All Blacks could dictate what the media did.But on Sunday Hansen softened his stance and extended an olive branch to Cheika for the good of rugby in Australasia.For a long time the relationship with Australia has probably been a little frosty and maybe we need to sit down and have a beer together and sort it out, Hansen told Australian reporters, describing the Wallabies as a formidable opponent and important ally.But I think some of it comes down to the fact that the Bledisloe Cup means so much to both teams and when one teams having a dominant period like were at the moment, the other team really gets frustrated.Its how you deal with those frustrations and how you handle yourself when youre winning, I guess, is important.This week weve tried to play a pretty straight bat and not tried to aggravate anyone. Our media didnt help with the clown thing but thats the media. Its not us.But at the same time youve got to look at your own history and your own backyard andd theres been plenty of people whove had a crack at (former All Blacks captain Richie) McCaw and so forth.ddddddddddddHansen said he had empathy for Cheika.I lost 10 Tests in a row with Wales and it was tough.?Of course you get hurt by it, he said.Its how you deal with the adversity thats important.Whether or not Cheika buries the hatchet remains to be seen.He was still stewing upon his arrival back at Sydney airport on Sunday. Why would you let the opposition call your team clowns and mock the jersey??Thats how I feel about it, he said.Maybe others dont. Maybe thats not the way. But Ive never had an Australian jersey so I think its something that should be treasured.Were going there for a good contest and I think they (All Blacks) are connected to it (the photo mock up) obviously because they are talking about it.Thats my opinion and Im entitled to voice my opinion, right or wrong.Cheika was also upset at not receiving an invitation into the triumphant dressing room after the All Blacks chalked up their unprecedented 18th consecutive tier-one Test match win.He admitted the Sydney bugging saga had been the spark that set him off, saying he was deeply offended by any inference the Wallabies camp could have been involved in the spying scandal.Cheika remains furious the bugging report came out in the NZ Herald on the day of the first Bledisloe Test match in Sydney, after All Blacks management had alerted police about finding an electronic listening device in a team room early in the week.We had policemen in our offices asking us questions, asking our management questions. Thats serious stuff to be accusing people of and its not true, he said.Thats their go-to (newspaper). Nothing happens without that connection.Thats my point of view. They dont have to agree with it. Im not asking them to agree with it. ' ' '
