ATLANTA -- The Braves are supposed to be a team that relies on strong pitching and home runs. Air Force 1 Damen Deutschland . Instead, Atlanta evened its NL division series against the Los Angeles Dodgers with clutch defence as the complement for Mike Minors strong start. Jason Heyward drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the seventh, Minor allowed only one run and the Braves turned three double plays in their 4-3 win over Los Angeles on Friday night. The defence delivered another key play in the ninth when catcher Gerald Laird threw out pinch-runner Dee Gordon trying to steal second base. The series shifts to Los Angeles tied 1-1. The Braves knew they couldnt afford a second straight home loss. "We definitely didnt want to lose two games in front of our home crowd," said Chris Johnson, who had two hits, including a fourth-inning single that gave Atlanta a 2-1 lead. Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez drove in three runs with three hits, including a two-run homer in the eighth that cut the Braves lead to one run. The homer added more value to Heywards two-run single in the seventh. With the Braves leading 2-1, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly ordered an intentional walk to pinch-hitter Reed Johnson, loading the bases for Heyward. Mattingly wanted left-hander Paco Rodriguez to face Heyward, a left-handed hitter. Heyward drilled a two-run single up the middle for a 4-1 lead. Mattingly said Rodriguez "is a guy we think gets Heyward out. Been getting those guys out all year long for us." The decision to face Heyward instead of Johnson left room for second-guessing. "I mean, you think you obviously look at everything, but were down 2-1," Mattingly said. "Yeah, you always look back at everything. You could have done this, you could have done that. I think you look at it honestly and see what you think." Heyward said he understood the strategy. "Play the matchups," Heyward said. "Thats what the post-season is about. You go lefty-lefty there. "Im glad to have an opportunity to come through big for my team right there. I got a pitch and didnt miss it." Minor allowed one run on eight hits and one walk in 6 1-3 innings. The Braves last double play ended the seventh after the Dodgers had runners on first and third with one out following a pinch-hit infield single by Michael Young. Reliever Luis Avilan fielded a grounder by Carl Crawford and made a quick and accurate throw to shortstop Andrelton Simmons, who then fired to first to complete the double play. Simmons said he didnt expect Ayala to come to second with his throw. "I was hoping hed go home," Simmons said. "He kind of caught (the grounder) a little weird and I was scared he was going to make a bad throw. He made a good throw and it was a good play." Simmons jumped in the air after making the throw to first as Ayala pumped his fist on the mound and Minor applauded in the dugout. "We played good defence," said Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez, who said Avilan made a bold throw. "You see a lot of those plays end up in centre field," Gonzalez said. Zack Greinke allowed two runs on only four hits and no walks in 6 innings. Right-hander Chris Withrow allowed two runs in the seventh. The Braves also turned double plays in the second and third innings follow leadoff singles by Juan Uribe and Crawford, respectively. David Carpenter almost lost the 4-1 lead in the eighth. Carpenter walked Mark Ellis to open the inning before Ramirez made contact on an awkward, lunging swing for a two-run homer that landed in the first row of the left-field seats. Ramirez also had two doubles, including one that drove in a run in the first. Carpenter recovered to strike out Adrian Gonzalez and Yasiel Puig. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez brought in closer Craig Kimbrel for the final four outs. Kimbrels fastball was clocked at 100 mph when Uribe grounded out to hit the eighth. Kimbrel hit 100 mph again in the ninth when he struck out Skip Schumaker before walking A.J. Ellis. Gordon, running for Ellis, was called out on the close play trying to steal second. Mattingly said after watching a replay he thought Gordon was safe. Said Gordon: "I really dont want to talk about it. You guys saw the replay. ... I felt like everything was good. Simmons blocked the bag and I felt like I got under it. "I need to do better at my job and make sure Im safe next time." Kimbrel walked pinch-hitter Andre Ethier before striking out Crawford to end the game. NOTES: The Dodgers stranded baserunners on first and third in the sixth when Minor struck out Uribe. ...

Not Burning to Buy Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving is not willing to risk his teams long-term future for a playoff push this season. The Flames currently hold the second and final wild card spot and hold a three point advantage over the Los Angeles Kings. Still, Treliving said the Flames remain focused on the future and are not prepared to pay for rental players. With the way the team has performed, I think the responsibility of the manager is youre obviously looking at the long-term vision of this team, Treliving told the Flames website. Those A assets that I look at, those first round picks, top young players, it takes a lot of pain to get those. As we continue to build this organization, those are very, very valuable assets and ones were not prepared to throw out for the sake of something that might, might help us for a short period of time. Youre looking at that long range. Treliving added his current focus is on assessing the future of the current Flames set for unrestricted free agency this summer. Were going to evaluate and continue to evaluate each situation independently and see where we get to as we get to the deadline and beyond, he said. The Price for Franson? According to Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun, the Toronto Maple Leafs are looking for a second-round pick in exchange for defenceman Cody Fransson. Nike Air Force 1 Herren Deutschland. Franson, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, has six goals and 23 assists in 49 games with the Leafs this season. Franson will turn 27 this August. Eye on (another) Prize? Though the New York Rangers – and several other teams – could use the services of forward Antione Vermette, Steve Zipay of Newsday believes the Blue Shirts should look elsewhere on the Coyotes roster for help. While Zipay believes the asking price for Vermette would include 2011 first-round pick J.T. Miller and likely more from the Rangers, Martin Hanzal could be had at a cheaper price. Unlike Vermette, Hanzel is signed through the 2016-17 season at an affordable cap hit of $3.1 million. Ziplay believes defenceman John Moore, who was a healthy scratch multiple times in January, and a mid-round pick could land the 27-year-old Hanzal. The Rangers are believed to be looking to add a two-way centre to their lineup. Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mike Santorelli is another option Ziplay believes the Rangers could look at. If Moore is traded, Ziplay believes the Rangers will look to find a veteran defenceman to replace him. To High to Yandle? Ansar Khan of Michigan Live notes that though the Red Wings are interested in adding a defenceman at the trade deadline, the price for Keith Yandle will likely be too high for Detroit. Khan speculates the Red Wings will not be willing to part with the Arizona Coyotes’ high price point for their leading scorer. That price could include a top prospect and/or a current young roster player. Yandle has four goals and 34 points in 50 games with the Coyotes this season. He is signed through next season. ' ' '
