ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves have seen Cole Hamels enough to know that little comes easily against the Philadelphia Phillies left-hander. Nike Free Sale Australia . "He threw the ball well and beat us," left fielder Justin Upton said. "Well just regroup and come back (Sunday)." Chris Johnson drove in Upton for the Braves only run, and Hamels scattered four hits in seven innings to beat Atlanta 2-1 on Saturday night. Jimmy Rollins hit his 12th homer, a two-run shot in the seventh off Shae Simmons (1-1), to provide the Phillies offence. Hamels (4-5) won for the second time in three starts, giving up one run, striking out nine and walking none. He threw 71 of 95 pitches for strikes. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez knew Hamels was going to be tough to beat when he saw the early command of his fastball. "Its not a straight fastball," Gonzalez said. "It sinks and it cuts a lot to the right-handed hitters, and its not an easy at-bat. He did that against us." Atlanta, which had a three-game winning streak snapped, cut its deficit to 2-1 in the seventh inning on Johnsons RBI double. The Braves are tied with Washington for first place in the NL East. Jonathan Papelbon earned his 21st save in 23 chances, needing only five pitches to retire Andrelton Simmons on a groundout, Freddie Freeman on a lineout, and Justin Upton on a popup. Grady Sizemore reached base four times, going 3 for 4 and scoring on Rollins homer for the last-place Phillies. The only baserunner Hamels allowed through the first 4 2-3 innings was Jason Heyward, who was hit by a pitch in the second. Tommy La Stella got the first hit off Hamels, a double in the fifth. Hamels made 50 of his first 65 pitches for strikes before pinch-hitter Tyler Pastornicky singled in the sixth. "Things felt good in the bullpen leading into the game and things transpired from there," Hamels said. "But I definitely understand how difficult it is to reach that type of level." Braves starter Aaron Harang pitched six scoreless innings, allowing five hits and three walks with five strikeouts. The right-hander, who had won his last four starts, has a 2.18 ERA in his past five outings. Hamels, 3-3 with a 1.78 ERA in nine road starts this year, received a no-decision in Atlanta on June 16 despite pitching seven scoreless innings in Philadelphias 13-inning victory. Hamels improved to 15-8 with a 3.34 ERA in 31 starts and one relief appearance against the Braves. Ben Revere pinch-hit for him in the eighth. "Ive known Cole for quite a while," Harang said. "I watched him pitch in high school from being there in San Diego. Ive seen him really grow as a pitcher. He was out there being efficient, really attacking the zone and making us be aggressive." Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg unsuccessfully challenged that Johnson was thrown out at second base in the seventh. Johnson stretched a single into a double by beating Chase Utleys tag attempt.

The retro logo of the Moose Jaw Warriors shows an image of a First Nations person on a skate and waving an axe. The logo was criticized when it was rereleased in February, but detractors were from mainly outside the city. The debate was renewed last month when Cree recording artist Buffy Sainte-Marie visited Moose Jaw and said the logo had to go. Barb Frazer, chairwoman of the Moose Jaw Cultural Diversity Advisory Committee, says the group is recommending that the logo be retired. She also says the team should consult aboriginal people and groups for direction and advice. "Buffy Sainte-Marie came into town and I was a little bit embarrassed that it took a cultural icon to really get us to bring awareness to this," Frazer told city council Monday. "When she was here laast, she brought this up . Nike Free Australia Online. .. that this was a stereotype, that this was a logo that had to go." Frazer said she has no problem with the current logo showing a chief wearing a headdress or with the teams name. City council agreed to send a letter to the team to express concerns. "This is certainly not a broad-sided attack on the Warriors," said Coun. Don Mitchell. "There is concern ... about a kind of caricature presentation of the Hollywood version of cowboys and Indians. That might have been acceptable in the 1980s, but its not a fair representation." The team has not been contacted by the advisory committee, so Mayor Deb Higgins decided to speak to the Warriors directly. Three city councillors voted against the motion to send the team a letter. They said the city should not get involved directly and suggested it should be the committee that sends a letter to the Warriors about its concerns. ' ' '
