ATLANTA -- Freddie Freemans bases-loaded, line-drive single off closer Sergio Romo capped a two-run rally in the ninth that lifted the Atlanta Braves to a 6-5 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. B.J. Upton hit two homers off Chad Gaudin, but the Braves trailed 5-4 entering the ninth. Romo (3-3) walked pinch-hitter Evan Gattis, who was replaced by pinch-runner Reed Johnson, with one out. Andrelton Simmons followed with a grounder that skipped past third baseman Joaquin Arias for an error, putting runners on first and second. Jason Heyward followed with a liner that fell in front of left fielder Andres Torres, loading the bases. Justin Upton took a close 3-2 pitch for a ball to force in the tying run. The pitch, which had Upton backing away, was close to the inside part of the plate and Romo walked toward the plate to express his disagreement. Freeman then came through with the game-winning single to right field. Braves closer Craig Kimbrel (2-1) struck out Hunter Pence to end the ninth with runners on first and second. Pence drove in two runs. Gaudin gave up four runs on eight hits in five-plus innings. Pence had a run-scoring single in the Giants three-run third inning and a sacrifice fly in a two-run fifth. The Giants, who began the day 1 1/2 games behind first-place Arizona in the NL West, had won three straight. Braves starter Mike Minor gave up five runs, four earned, on seven hits and a walk in six innings. San Francisco relievers Jean Machi, Javier Lopez and Jeremy Affeldt combined for three scoreless innings before Romo blew the save in the ninth. B.J. Uptons long second-inning homer landed about halfway up the lower section of the left-field seats. Uptons two-run homer to centre field in the sixth drove in Brian McCann, who doubled. The homer cut San Franciscos lead to 5-4 and knocked Gaudin out of the game. Simmons committed two errors after beginning the day with only four miscues for the season. Simmons fielding error on Tony Abreus grounder led to an unearned run in the fifth. Buster Posey followed with a run-scoring double, which drove in Torres. Abreu scored on Pences fly ball to right field. Simmons made a wild throw after fielding an infield single by Juan Perez to open the sixth, but Minor pitched out of the jam. The Giants took the lead in the third inning with three runs on four hits, including back-to-back RBI doubles by Torres and Abreu, who had three hits. Pence added a run-scoring single.

Wholesale NHL Gear . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate.

You cant think about the last one. You just grow and move on from it. Thats the main thing I was thinking about.Mudiay, who went 0 for 7 from the floor Saturday night in Denvers double-digit loss at Detroit, shot 9 of 10 in the first quarter and had a season high already as he outscored the Celtics.The Nuggets led 42-23 after one.Wilson Chandler added 22 points before leaving with a left hamstring injury.

Avery Bradley had 14.These signs arent good. Were not giving our all on the defensive end, Thomas said. We can have five starters out (but) you can definitely, its a mindset thing on that end, and weve got to do a better job on that.The Celtics were missing starters Jae Crowder (sprained left ankle) and Al Horford (concussion protocol), a high-priced free agent acquisition.Denver pushed its lead to 66-41 midway into the second and led 77-52 at halftime.Boston left the floor to a loud chorus of boos.The Celtics made a brief spurt in the third, closing to 84-69, but the Nuggets scored 14 of the next 19 points en route to a 103-83 edge after three.There was a smatteering of boos again when the game ended.ddddddddddddTIP-INSNuggets: Denver scored just 86 points in its loss at Detroit. ... G Will Barton missed his third straight game with a sprained left ankle.Celtics: F Kelly Olynyk was also out and hasnt played this season while rehabbing his right shoulder.

Celtics coach Brad Stevens said Olynyk is still on pace for mid-November.FAST STARTThe Nuggets emphasized getting off to a quick start after falling behind by 17 after one quarter against Detroit. They thought it was a bad pattern they had been getting into so far this season.We had to not lose the first quarter. We were losing the first quarter too much, Mudiay said. I just felt like we had to come out and do something about it. We cant be pointing fingers.THEY WERENT LISTENINGBefore the game, Stevens addressed his teams struggles on defense.Im not as concerned (with offense), he said. Again, my focus is on the defensive end of the floor with our team right now.Then the Celtics went out and allowed the Nuggets to score 77 points in the first half while shooting 64.4 percent, with a number of baskets coming off drives down the lane.UP NEXTNuggets: Close a five-game road swing at Memphis on Tuesday.
