ATLANTA -- Ervin Santana has been a model of efficiency lately for the Minnesota Twins.Early on it was all about getting a run on the board and then watch Ervin go to work, manager Paul Molitor said.

Hes accustomed to pitching at Turner Field after spending the 2014 season with the Braves, but the muggy conditions were still tough to overcome.I feel great, Santana said. There was a lot of humidity, but we got the win. Thats the most important thing.The Twins took a 1-0 lead in the first on Trevor Plouffes RBI double. In the eighth, Mauer hit his 10th homer and Kurt Suzuki had an RBI single to make it 3-0.Brandon Kintzler earned his 12th save in 13 chances after facing four batters in the ninth.Santana allowed three runners to get into scoring position before striking out Jace Peterson in the second, Chase dArnaud in the third and pinch-hitter Jeff Francoeur in the seventh.Pitching against the majors weakest offense, Santana improved to 3-2 with a 1.99 ERA in seven starts since the All-Star break. Atlanta ranks last in runs and homers.He just commands both sides of the plate with his fastball, Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman said. Hes got that slider you think youre going to hit, and it just disappears. He had it working today.The Braves cut the lead to 3-2 in the eighth. Ryan Pressly gave up Matt Kemps RBI double and Nick Markakis RBI groundout, but he stranded a runner at third when Adonis Garcia lined out.Minnesota made it 4-2 in the ninth when Mauricio Cabrera, the sixth of seven Atlanta pitchers, gave up Plouffes RBI single.Mauer went 3 for 4 and is hitting .418 with 14 RBI in his last 19 games.

Cheap College Jerseys . The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night. Discount NCAA Jerseys . LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. http://www.cheapcollegejerseys.net/ .C. at the helm of the top team in the Eastern Conference. His tenure as the GM in Vancouver was all too brief. Though he led the Canucks to what was then a franchise record-shattering campaign in just his second season, Nonis was gone and replaced one year later. Stitched NCAA Jerseys . Colin Wilson had two goals and an assist, and Mike Fisher scored a goal and helped set up two others in the Predators 6-4 victory over the Red Wings on Monday night. Authentic College Football Jerseys . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. The early warning Both David Warner and Aaron Finch breached the boundary in the first two overs but they made their intent clear in the third. Dale Steyn dropped one short, Warner shifted back onto his toes with the balance of a ballerina but then unleashed a butchers blow. Warner sent the ball into the crowd at deep midwicket, a sign of what was to come. Australia would bludgeon nine more sixes on their way to the highest total at Kingsmead.The flying captain It was going to take fatigue or something special to get wickets and after South Africa removed Australias top three through the former method, Faf du Plessis pulled off one of the latter to get them a fourth scalp. George Bailey had just hit Andile Phehlukwayo for six and tried to slap him through the covers where du Plessis was stationed. South Africas stand-in captain flung himself to his left and went after the ball with both hands. The ball stuck and Bailey was sent on his way but Australia were still on track for a 350-plus score.The breakthrough Hashim Amla responded to being left out at the Wanderers by blasting his way to 45 off the first 29 balls he faced and looked good to go on to a big score when John Hastings stopped him. Amla moved across his crease to try and flick a Hastings delivery into the leg side but missed and was struck on the back pad. Umpire Adrian Holdstock raised the finger and Amla considered a review but luckily did not opt for it. Replays showed umpires call on impact and that the ball would have gone on to hit the stumps and Amla accepted his fate.The other flying captain Australia needed something similar to du Plessis effort to break South Africas second-wicket partnership between du Plessis and Quinton de Kock. Steven Smith almost had the chance to pull it off. Du Plessis was drawn forward by Adam Zampa and lured into a drive, which he could not keep on the ground.dddddddddddd. The ball went to the left of Smith at cover, he lunged at it in an almost mirror-image of what du Plessis had done earlier except that he could not hold on. Smith got fingertips to it but may have needed a little more height to grab it properly and du Plessis, on 31, survived. Although not for long.The wrong shot Rilee Rossouw admitted he should not have brought out the reverse-sweep as early as he did in the first ODI but insisted it remained his shot and he would use it in future. Unfortunately, it let him down again. Rossouw picked the fourth ball he faced from Zampa, a quicker one, and missed his attempt. He was struck on the pads and given out and will rue not making use of the opportunity he was given at Farhaan Behardiens expense.The Lucky escape Phehlukwayos middle name is Lucky and he lived up to it when he survived despite edging to the wicketkeeper at a crucial time in the South Africa innings. Phelukwayo wafted at his first ball, from Chris Tremain, which was in the channel outside off, and seemed to get a thin edge. Matthew Wade went up immediately but umpire Holdstock was not convinced. Australia did not have a review in hand, having spent theirs on asking if David Miller was caught behind earlier on. Replays showed that if they had been able to call on DRS, it would have gone in their favour, with a sizeable spike on Snicko showing bat had made contact with ball. As the last recognised batsman in the XI, Phehlukwayos presence was important to South Africas chase and the let off could not have been luckier for him. ' ' '
