Hanson, Braves handcuff the Mets
ATLANTA - Tommy Hanson finally got some run support and won for the first time in nearly two months, allowing just one hit in seven shutout innings to lead the Atlanta Braves past the New York Mets, 4-1, Wednesday night.
ATLANTA - Tommy Hanson finally got some run support and won for the first time in nearly two months, allowing just one hit in seven shutout innings to lead the Atlanta Braves past the New York Mets, 4-1, Wednesday night.
Omar Infante and Jason Heyward combined for seven hits at the top of the Braves' order, Martin Prado drove in two runs with a first-inning double, and it could have been worse for the Mets if they hadn't thrown out two Atlanta runners at the plate.
The Braves won their fifth straight and maintained a three-game lead in the NL East over the Phillies.
Hanson had gone 0-5 over his previous 10 starts, largely because the Braves' offense always seemed to struggle when the righthander was on the mound. He allowed just 11 earned runs over eight of those appearances - and didn't get a win in any of them.
Hanson (9-10) was in total command against New York, winning for the first time since July 3. David Wright's one-out double in the fourth was the lone hit surrendered by the Atlanta starter.
Billy Wagner worked a perfect ninth for his 31st save.

Giants 2, Rockies 1
SAN FRANCISCO - Pinch-runner Darren Ford scored the go-ahead run from second base on a wild pitch and throwing error in the eighth inning, helping Tim Lincecum end a career-worst five-start skid in San Francisco's victory over Colorado.
Ubaldo Jimenez (17-6) was denied in his fifth attempt at a franchise-record 18th win. He lost his third straight start and fourth consecutive decision dating to a win over the Giants on Aug. 4.
The Giants gained another game on the first-place Padres, pulling within three games in the NL West race after San Diego lost its seventh in a row.
Lincecum (12-9) won for the first time since July 30.
