ATLANTA -- Evan Gattis is starting to get his groove back
for the Atlanta Braves. After playing three games in the
minor leagues to correct his swing, Gattis returned to
the majors and made an immediate impact. "I felt fixed
before leaving," Gattis said. "Its good to go there and
really kind of put it into action. It was good to have a
good night." Kris Medlen pitched seven strong innings
while Gattis and Andrelton Simmons homered to help the
Atlanta Braves win their second straight game with a 3-1
victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night. The
Braves have won 20 of 24 at Turner Field to improve the
major leagues best home record to 51-19. Gattis, who was
recalled earlier in the day after a three-game stint at
Triple-A Gwinnett, tied it at 1-all with his 16th homer
in the seventh. After Mets starter Carlos Torres (3-3)
walked Dan Uggla on nine pitches, Simmons hit his 13th
homer to make it 3-1. Medlen (12-12) allowed seven hits
and one run while striking out nine. Closer Craig Kimbrel
converted his 34th straight save opportunity and improved
to 44 for 47 this season. He struck out Juan Lagares and
Matt den Dekker, allowed a single to Omar Quintanilla and
retired pinch-hitter Justin Turner on a groundout. New
York has dropped three straight and nine of 13. Torres
gave up seven hits, three runs and one walk. He tied
career highs with six strikeouts and seven innings
pitched. The Mets took a 1-0 lead in the sixth on Daniel
Murphys RBI double with one out, but Medlen limited the
damage on Josh Satins groundout and Lucas Dudas
strikeout. In the seventh, New York manager Terry Collins
let Torres bat with runners at first and third, but the
pitcher struck out. Torres lost the lead in the bottom
half of the inning, unable to finish off Gattis and Uggla
when both hitters fell behind with 0-2 counts. "Look
where he was in that point in the game, and he was
cruising," Collins said. "Theyre dangerous so you cant
make any mistakes. He gave us a chance. We just couldnt
put up any runs." Medlen erased the first two runners in
scoring position -- Eric Young Jr. in the first and Duda
in the fourth. After Young tripled over Gattis head in
left field in the sixth and scored on Murphys double,
Medlen escaped further damage when Josh Satin grounded
out and Duda took a called third strike. "Whatever jam
you get in, you always feel like you can get out of it,"
Medlen said. "Im always thinking positive. Whether other
people do, I dont know, but Im always figuring out a way
to get out of stuff. Its something you learn as you
mature in this game. I think Ive figured how to battle,
how to go at guys, and today I did a decent job of that."
Duda doubled with two out in the fourth, getting stranded
on dArnauds strikeout, but his average dropped to .169 in
59 at-bats with runners in scoring position. Gattis, who
went 3 for 3, spent the previous three days at Triple-A
Gwinnett to get some at-bats. The NLs rookie of the month
winner for April and May had slumped in August, but he
seemed to correct his issues by going 6 for 13 in three
games at Gwinnett. Gattis took four pitches from Torres
before crushing a cutter into the seats in left-centre
field. It was his first homer since the Braves 8-2
victory at New York on July 24 -- a span of 70 at-bats.
"Its good to square the ball up, first," Gattis said. "It
just ended up being a home run, you know." Atlanta has
won 29 of its last 38 games and has rallied for 41
victories, best in the NL. Notes: Braves manager Fredi
Gonzalez said RF Jason Heyward, on the 15-day disabled
list with a broken jaw, met with a doctor Tuesday and has
been cleared to play catch and hit balls off a tee. ...
Medlen is 2-1 with a 3.20 ERA and has 29 strikeouts in 25
1-3 innings in four starts against the Mets this year.
... Collins said before the game that he expects RHP
Daisuke Matsuzaka will make his next scheduled start
Sunday at Cleveland. Matsuzaka is 0-3 with a 10.95 ERA in
three starts with New York. ... Collins added 1B Ike
Davis, sidelined for the fourth straight with a strained
right oblique, was in New York to see a doctor. ...
Braves OF Jordan Schafer grounded out as a pinch-hitter
for Medlen in the seventh. Schafer went 4 for 5 on Monday
before leaving the game early with a sore back.
