ATLANTA -- Julio Teheran insisted he wasnt too tired after making his first start in eight days. Interim Braves manager Brian Snitker thought the long delay likely affected his ace.His stuff wasnt as crisp, velocity was down, Snitker said. I think they looked at him after the game, and it was just fatigue more than anything.Teheran gave up a double to Phillies starter Jeremy Hellickson to blow a one-run lead in the fifth, and the bumbling Braves put on a clinic of bad baseball in the eighth inning of a 9-5 loss on Saturday night.Atlanta, the major leagues worst team, let Philadelphia score four runs in the eighth without a hit.Hunter Cervenka issued four walks, Ryan Weber hit a batter and two infielders committed an error to bring a chorus of boos from the fans.Hellickson (8-7) allowed nine hits, three runs and one walk and struck out two in 5 2/3 innings. He improved to 4-1 with a 2.27 ERA in his last seven starts despite getting chased when Anthony Reckers RBI single cut the lead to 5-3.Hellickson was pulled because his right hand was sore after jamming it on a foul ball he hit earlier in the game.Teheran (3-9) allowed five hits, three runs, one walk and struck out four in five innings. He left his last start, a no-decision at Colorado on July 22, with tightness in his right lat.Teheran blamed his pitch selection -- a breaking ball to Hellickson -- more than fatigue as the game wore on.Its just normal things that happen in the game, he said. Well wait and see how I feel tomorrow, but today I didnt feel anything.Philadelphia went up 5-2 in the sixth against Eric OFlaherty on Freddy Galvis two-run single. Odubel Herrera missed a chance to add on when OFlaherty struck him out with the bases loaded.Its been a recurring theme for the Phillies, who began the night with a .145 average with runners in scoring position and 72 stranded runners over their last eight games.Atlantas bullpen had pitched 18 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings, but that stretch ended with a thud. Cervenka threw just five of 21 pitches for strikes and walked in a run in one-third of an inning.With Weber pitching, two runs scored on third baseman Adonis Garcias fielding error. Shortstop Erick Aybar then booted a grounder to load the bases before Weber hit Aaron Altherr with a pitch to make it 9-3.That one inning got away from us, Snitker said. We were right there. We couldve kept the game (close). A couple of tough plays that didnt go our way.The Braves took a 2-1 lead in the third on RBI singles by Nick Markakis and Adonis Garcia.The Phillies made it 1-0 in the second. Ryan Howard doubled to begin the inning and lumbered home from second on Cameron Rupps RBI single.Atlanta scored twice in the eighth.SPLASHY MOVEThe Braves swung a big trade to address their woeful offense -- and add some spark heading into next season- by acquiring pricey slugger Matt Kemp and $10.5 million from San Diego for troubled outfielder Hector Olivera.Atlanta had tried for several months to deal Olivera following his April 13 arrest on domestic violence charges. He is eligible to play again in the major leagues on Tuesday following his 82-game domestic violence suspension. The Padres plan to designate Olivera for assignment when he comes off the restricted list Tuesday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision has not been announced.Despite arthritis in both hips, Kemp could boost the weakest offense in the major leagues. Atlanta ranks last in runs scored and homers.UP NEXTPhillies: RHP Jerad Eickhoff (6-12) has a 3.83 ERA but leads the NL in losses. He is 2-1 with a 1.73 ERA in four career starts against Atlanta.Braves: Snitker has yet to decide on a Sunday starter. Curtis DeLoatch Jersey Retro .

Myron Pryor Jersey Retro .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. CLEVELAND -- Yan Gomes completed a comeback even he doubted was possible.Given little chance to play in the postseason after breaking his right hand last month, Clevelands catcher made the clubs postseason roster and will play in the American League Division Series against the Boston Red Sox.Its an amazing recovery for Gomes, who was days away from returning to the lineup after missing two months with a separated right shoulder when he was hit was a pitch and broke his hand.Its been a roller coaster of emotions, man, Gomes said Wednesday. I went from sitting in a hospital room with my hand broken, not going to lie, crying my eyes out because Im not going to be part of the team. But then once I got my stuff together, I was like, `Ya know what, I can try to make a comeback, got to play a couple games and to be put on the roster is pretty rewarding for me and Im just going to try to do my best to help our team any way I can.Gomes hand isnt completely healed, but thats not going to stop him now, not with a chance to play in the postseason for the second time in his career.Im just going to tape it as tight as we can and hopefully it stays together, he said. But I can tell you, Im going to give 100 percent every time.When Gomes broke his hand on Sept. 14 while playing for Double-A Akron, it appeared his season was over.Doctors told him it could take up to two months to heal, but after picking up a ball and throwing it, Gomes dedicated himself to doing everything he could to get back on the field.Once I first started throwing the ball around, Im like, if I can flick it without noticing, it doesnt hurt as bad, he said. The oonly thing was starting to hit.dddddddddddd The first time I hit, it didnt feel very good. The second time, I saw some progress. This was three days after. The hand is still broken, theres still going to be some pain, but they told me, `Look, if you can tolerate it, its not going to get any worse.He returned to the lineup in the seasons final week, but only played a few innings in the field.But then, with an at-bat that seemed pulled from the script of a feel-good movie, Gomes connected for a home run on the first pitch he faced Sunday in Kansas City. The shot electrified his teammates, who have been pulling hard for him to get back.Im really happy for him as an individual, Game 1 starter Trevor Bauer said. Obviously hes going to help our team. Theres no question about that. But just on a personal side, to have him be able to come back and be a part of something that he was a big part of all year and over the past couple of years that hes been here, its really great to see for him.Indians manager Terry Francona, who is carrying three catchers on his ALDS roster, isnt sure how much Gomes will play.I dont think its probably fair to ask him to be a starting catcher and catch nine innings, he said. I think what wed usually try to do during the season, and try to do now, is take what the players do well, try to maximize that, which is certainly catching and throwing, knowledge of the staff, so we can use that. Hes not limited there. And we can use that.If it grows into more, that would be good. ' ' '
