ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves will try to play the role of spoiler this weekend as they finish their occupancy at Turner Field against the Detroit Tigers.The Braves, firmly ensconced in last place in the National League East, can help deny the Tigers a shot at gaining an American League wild-card spot.The Tigers (86-73) beat the Braves 6-2 on Friday, and drew to within one-half game of Toronto (87-73), which lost to Boston. The Tigers remain 1 1/2 games behind Baltimore, which defeated New York.I had one eye on the scoreboard, Ausmus said. We do appreciate the help, but weve got to take care of business for ourselves.If Detroit has a chance to make the playoffs after this weekend, they will make up the Cleveland game that was rained out on Sept. 29. The game will not be played if there are no playoff implications. If the Tigers need to play, they announced Friday that they would start right-hander Michael Fulmer (11-7, 3.06).They get it. They know how this works, Ausmus said. The feeling is we have to win.The Tigers will send right-hander Jordan Zimmerman (9-6, 4.86) to the mound to oppose Atlanta right-hander Aaron Blair (1-7, 8.02). It is the penultimate game to be played at Turner Field.Zimmerman will make his 19th appearance, 18th start, of the season against an old rival. Zimmerman has made 18 career starts against Atlanta, all while he was a member of the Washington Nationals. He is 7-3 with a 2.55 ERA against the Braves with 82 strikeouts in 99 innings. He is 3-1 with a 2.06 ERA at Turner Field.Zimmerman has pitched three innings of scoreless relief on Sept. 25 against Kansas City. It was the first relief appearance of his career.Blair, a rookie, will make is 15th start and will try to find the form he showed in his Sept. 19 start against the Mets, when he allowed two runs over six innings. He regressed in his last start on Sept. 24 in Miami, giving up five runs in 3 1/3 innings. He has never faced the Tigers.The Braves are concerned about rookie Tyrell Jenkins, who left the game with tingling in his upper arm after getting two outs in the eighth inning. He left after throwing a ball to Miguel Cabrera.Well get him back in here and look at him, Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said. There was no reason to push him. We had enough guys in the bullpen to cover the innings.Cullen Gillaspia Jersey . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim. Andre Johnson Jersey .

"I dont think anybody saw that coming," Nava said, describing the "tempered excitement" in the dugout as the bases filled and emptied during a six-run ninth inning that gave Boston an 8-7 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday night. "You could see it happening, but it was still too far off." By the time the Red Sox batted around the order, and Nava came up again, the score was tied, the bases were loaded and there was still only one out. Nava lined a long single over the centre fielder to bring the Boston players out of the dugout for the increasingly familiar celebration. One night after winning in 15 innings for their major league-leading 10th walkoff victory, the Red Sox did it again to sweep Seattle and open a one-game lead in the AL East over the idle Tampa Bay Rays. "We dont quit. Ever," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "We truly believe we have a chance to do something special on a given night or given year. And that happens to be this year." Henry Blanco hit a grand slam, and Felix Hernandez allowed six hits before leaving after seven innings with a 7-1 lead. Kendrys Morales had four hits and a pair of walks, and Kyle Seager and Brad Miller tripled for the Mariners, who have lost 17 games in the opponents final at-bat -- including eight walkoff losses. "Weve been through this before," first baseman Justin Smoak said, "too many times." Hernandez seemed to be cruising to his seventh consecutive victory, but the Red Sox scored one in the eighth against Charlie Furbush and then cut it to 7-3 against closer Tom Wilhelmsen in the ninth. Perez (2-3) came on with the bases loaded and nobody out, giving up Shane Victorinos two-run single and an RBI base hit to Dustin Pedroia that made it 7-6. David Ortiz struck out, then Jonny Gomes singled off Yoervis Medina to tie it. Stephen Drew, who provided the decisive hit on Wednesday night, walked to load the bases before Nava hit a ball off the garage door in centre field as the Red Sox celebrated. "We were trying to forget what happened yesterday," said Perez, who blew a seventh-inning leaad on Wednesday night and took the loss on Thursday even though he was the only one of the three relievers who pitched in the ninth to record an out.dddddddddddd "We just couldnt complete three outs. Everything went their way in the ninth." Steven Wright (2-0) pitched three scoreless innings in relief of Ryan Dempster. Victorino homered for Boston, which was in danger of falling out of first place, percentage points behind the Rays, in the AL East. On the day that Jake Peavy arrived in the dugout to bolster the Boston pitching staff for the stretch run, Dempster, a native of Gibsons, B.C., made a case to lose his spot in the rotation. He gave up seven runs on nine hits and five walks, striking out six in six innings. It was 2-1 after Jacoby Ellsbury doubled and scored in the third, but Dempster ran into trouble against Blanco -- a .189 hitter -- in the fifth. With Hall of Famer Carlton Fisk watching from the luxury boxes, the Mariners catcher hit a line drive over the Green Monster just inside the left-field foul pole to give Seattle a 7-1 lead. Hernandez, who had yet to record a 1-2-3 inning, then set down the Red Sox in order in the fifth and sixth innings. Notes: Hernandez allowed one run and walked two and struck out eight. He hasnt lost since May 25 and has allowed more than two earned runs just twice in 12 starts since then. ... Blancos only other homer this season was also a grand slam, against Oakland on June 15. It was the third grand slam of his career. ... Gomes received a standing ovation when he came off the field in the middle of the ninth after throwing one runner out at third and making a catch while crashing into the Green Monster. ... Seattles Endy Chavez stranded seven runners in his first three at-bats and eight in all. ... The Red Sox have won nine straight home games against the Mariners. ... The Red Sox havent scored first in their last nine home games. ... The previous nine homers Dempster had allowed were solo shots. ... Hernandez allowed one or fewer runs for the 97th time in his career -- the most in the majors since 2005. ... Boston added Peavy to the 40-man roster on Thursday and recalled right-hander Wright from Triple-A Pawtucket. The club also optioned righty Jose De La Torre to Pawtucket. Brandon Workman was optioned to Pawtucket after Wednesday nights game. ' ' '
