ATLANTA -- Julio Teheran never imagined it would take this long to win a game at home.It sounds weird to say its my first win at home at almost the end of the August, but it is what it is, he said. Im glad I got it today. I pitched a great game.Teheran won for the first time in nine starts, rookie Dansby Swanson drove in three runs and the Atlanta Braves beat the San Diego Padres 7-3 on Tuesday night.Teheran began the night with the lowest run support in the major leagues, but the two-time All-Star used a rare offensive outburst by Atlanta to earn his first home victory since last Oct. 2, a span of 14 starts.Interim manager Brian Snitker appreciated Teherans steady demeanor during the long drought, particularly in not complaining when his teammates couldnt score runs.The Braves averaged just 2.9 runs of support in Teherans first 23 starts.Its unbelievable, Snitker said. Hes one of those pros. Hes our guy that people look to. I like those guys that pitch every inning as their single, little entity. Hes trying to win that inning.The Braves, who rank last in runs, used six hits to take a 5-0 lead off journeyman Edwin Jackson in a five-run third. Adonis Garcia, Freddie Freeman, Jace Peterson and Swanson had RBI singles. Tyler Flowers added a sacrifice fly.Teheran (4-9) allowed six hits and two runs and struck out eight in seven innings. The Braves ace returned from the disabled list two weeks ago after missing 26 games with a right lat strain. He gave up nine runs in 11 innings over his last two starts.Jackson (3-5) allowed seven hits, five runs and three walks in 2 2/3 innings. The 14-year veteran, pitching for his 11th team, has a 6.34 ERA in eight starts and has given up 18 earned runs in his last 11 2/3 innings.Coming out of the bullpen, I had no clue the game would be like it was tonight, Jackson said. I felt pretty good and it didnt transition over into the game.Swanson, the first overall pick in the 2015 draft, had a two-run double in the fifth off Carlos Villanueva to put the Braves up 7-2.Teheran was coming off his worst start of the season when he allowed 11 hits and six runs in six innings of a no decision at Arizona last Wednesday.His only mistake was a fastball that Oswaldo Arcia hit for his first homer with San Diego, and seventh overall, to cut the lead to 5-2 in the fourth.A couple of games I didnt have my best stuff, but I battled and Ive been working in the bullpen like I was at the beginning of the year, Teheran said. Im glad I did today what I could.The Braves improved to 20-44 at home, worst in the majors.ON THE RUNTravis Jankowski easily stole his 29th base in the fifth, dropping catcher Flowers to 1 for 41 in caught-stealing attempts.ROSTER MOVESThe Braves recalled RHPs Shae Simmons and John Gant from Triple-A Gwinnett, placing RHP Arodys Vizcaino on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation and optioning RHP Brandon Cunniff to Gwinnett.TRAINERS ROOMPadres C Christian Bethancourt left after the top of the third inning with a left intercostal strain. ... Derek Norris took his place.UP NEXTPadres: RHP Paul Clemens (2-3) will face Atlanta for the first time.Braves: RHP Matt Wisler (5-11) is 0-1 with a 3.60 ERA in one career start against San Diego.---This story has been corrected to show that Julio Teheran won for the first time in nine starts, not 10.

According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time. CHASKA, Minn. -- Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin were a big part of the Ryder Cups opening ceremony on Thursday, each of them serving as a reminder that while this competition may be fierce, it should be conducted with both honor and integrity. There are some things, they pointed out, that are bigger than golf. Nicklaus conceding a 2-foot putt to Jacklin at Royal Birkdale in 1969 -- ending the match in a tie when a miss would have given the United States the Ryder Cup outright -- is now considered one of the most important moments in the history of the event.While this is a nice reminder, and perhaps an important lesson we should always keep in the back of our minds, let us now offer a few words in praise of Ryder Cup trash talk.Just because the two teams agree to be friends afterward does not mean they cant exchange some friendly barbs in the buildup to the event. It has become increasingly absurd when people try to shame the players into acting like boring robots. The Ryder Cup is one of the best events in sports specifically because it can get a little heated, specifically because its not just a clash of personalities but also a clash of cultures.Englands Danny Willett found himself on the business end of some of that shaming this week after his brother, Peter, penned an article for National Club Golfer that mocked American fans as fat, stupid, greedy, classless bastards. Willett and European captain Darren Clarke repeatedly mentioned how disappointed they were with the column and that it did not represent the views of Team Europe. They didnt want to give American fans the wrong idea and apologized repeatedly. The controversy, silly as it was, even appeared to play a role in Clarkes decision to sit Willett for the Friday morning session of foursomes.Frankly, I wish Willett hadnt apologized. I wish hed fully embraced the role of Ryder Cup villain. Ian Poulter wouldnt have apologized. Patrick Reed wouldnt have apologized. I dont think, for a second, that Seve Ballesteros would have apologized either. They would have soaked up the negative energy and produced some amazing golf. Willett certainly wasnt shy about taking a little dig at Jordan Spieth in April, retweeting a photo of Spieth looking shell-shocked during the greenn jacket ceremony in Butler Cabin after the Masters, so I wish hed just own it.ddddddddddddory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson have learned to own it over the years. Mickelson got in a clever dig at McIlroy and Graham McDowell in 2014 when he mentioned before the start of competition that one of Team USAs strengths was we dont litigate against one another, an obvious reference to a legal dispute between McIlroy and McDowell after their management company dissolved. And McIlroy couldnt resist throwing a barb at Team USA this time around after he was asked about captain Davis Love IIIs comment this was the best American team ever assembled. Definitely assembled the best task force ever, thats for sure, he said.No one blinks an eye in football or basketball when teams goad one another or try to get under one anothers skin. It has become part of the buildup to every NBA Finals and every Super Bowl, but when it comes to golf, its often seen as an ungentlemanly act, an affront to the gracious spirit of the game.Thats nonsense. The Ryder Cup has always been at its best when the competition has gotten a little heated, the celebrations a little too rowdy, like when the United States went bonkers and ran on the green after Justin Leonards putt in 1999, or when the Europeans were dancing in a conga line around the 18th green after they won the Ryder Cup on U.S. soil for the first time in 1987 at Muirfield Village.Weve talked a lot this week about how gracious Arnold Palmer was, how he made everyone feel loved when in his presence, but there is another side to Palmer that was an important part of his legacy too: He was a relentless competitor who wasnt afraid of anyone in his prime. In 1963, Palmer was both the captain of the U.S. Ryder Cup team and a participant, and he was so confident in his squad, he told the press before the tournament: This team would beat the rest of the world combined. He was probably right. The United States went on and won 23-9.So bring on the trash talk. Dial up the intensity. That too can be a tribute to Palmer.Shake hands when its over, and then start crafting a few barbs for 2018. ' ' '
