ATLANTA -- Julio Teheran insisted he wasnt t tired after making his first start in eight days. Interim Braves manager Brian Snitker thought the long delay likely affected his ace.His stuff wasnt as crisp, velocity was down, Snitker said. I think they lked at him after the game, and it was just fatigue more than anything.Teheran gave up a double to Phillies starter Jeremy Hellickson to blow a one-run lead in the fifth, and the bumbling Braves put on a clinic of bad baseball in the eighth inning of a 9-5 loss on Saturday night.Atlanta, the major leagues worst team, let Philadelphia score four runs in the eighth without a hit.Hunter Cervenka issued four walks, Ryan Weber hit a batter and two infielders committed an error to bring a chorus of bs from the fans.Hellickson (8-7) allowed nine hits, three runs and one walk and struck out two in 5 2/3 innings. He improved to 4-1 with a 2.27 ERA in his last seven starts despite getting chased when Anthony Reckers RBI single cut the lead to 5-3.Hellickson was pulled because his right hand was sore after jamming it on a foul ball he hit earlier in the game.Teheran (3-9) allowed five hits, three runs, one walk and struck out four in five innings. He left his last start, a no-decision at Colorado on July 22, with tightness in his right lat.Teheran blamed his pitch selection -- a breaking ball to Hellickson -- more than fatigue as the game wore on.Its just normal things that happen in the game, he said. Well wait and see how I feel tomorrow, but today I didnt feel anything.Philadelphia went up 5-2 in the sixth against Eric OFlaherty on Freddy Galvis two-run single. Odubel Herrera missed a chance to add on when OFlaherty struck him out with the bases loaded.Its been a recurring theme for the Phillies, who began the night with a .145 average with runners in scoring position and 72 stranded runners over their last eight games.Atlantas bullpen had pitched 18 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings, but that stretch ended with a thud. Cervenka threw just five of 21 pitches for strikes and walked in a run in one-third of an inning.With Weber pitching, two runs scored on third baseman Adonis Garcias fielding error. Shortstop Erick Aybar then bted a grounder to load the bases before Weber hit Aaron Altherr with a pitch to make it 9-3.That one inning got away from us, Snitker said. We were right there. We couldve kept the game (close). A couple of tough plays that didnt go our way.The Braves tk a 2-1 lead in the third on RBI singles by Nick Markakis and Adonis Garcia.The Phillies made it 1-0 in the second. Ryan Howard doubled to begin the inning and lumbered home from second on Cameron Rupps RBI single.Atlanta scored twice in the eighth.SPLASHY MOVEThe Braves swung a big trade to address their woeful offense -- and add some spark heading into next season- by acquiring pricey slugger Matt Kemp and $10.5 million from San Diego for troubled outfielder Hector Olivera.Atlanta had tried for several months to deal Olivera following his April 13 arrest on domestic violence charges. He is eligible to play again in the major leagues on Tuesday following his 82-game domestic violence suspension. The Padres plan to designate Olivera for assignment when he comes off the restricted list Tuesday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision has not been announced.Despite arthritis in both hips, Kemp could bst the weakest offense in the major leagues. Atlanta ranks last in runs scored and homers.UP NEXTPhillies: RHP Jerad Eickhoff (6-12) has a 3.83 ERA but leads the NL in losses. He is 2-1 with a 1.73 ERA in four career starts against Atlanta.Braves: Snitker has yet to decide on a Sunday starter. (Sports Network) - The Ottawa Senators will try to avoid falling into a 2-0 hole in their second-round series tonight when they face the Pittsburgh Penguins at the CONSOL Energy Center. Dont miss all the action on TSN Radio 1050 and TSN.ca/Toronto beginning at 70pm et/40pm pt. You can also chat and get updates from TSNs hockey personalities with TSN.cas Game Night blog on the TSN GameTracker. The top-seeded Penguins breezed to victory in the opener of this best-of-seven series on Tuesday, claiming a 4-1 decision over the visiting Senators. On Friday, Pittsburgh will try to improve to 4-1 on home ice in this postseason and grab a 2-0 lead in the series before it shifts to Ottawa for Games 3 and 4. Evgeni Malkin paced Pittsburghs offense in the opener, as he continued his stellar postseason play with a goal and an assist. Malkin registered at least one point in all six games of Pittsburghs first-round victory over the New York Islanders and added two more in the Game 1 triumph to push his point total to 13 (3G, 10A). Only Bostons David Krejci has more points this postseason with 14 on five goals and nine assists. Meanwhile, Tomas Vokoun will get the start again in Game 2 for the Penguins. He recorded his third straight victory on Tuesday since replacing Marc-Andre Fleury prior to Game 5 against the Isles. The veteran netminder made 35 saves in Game 1 and has turned away 101-of-105 shots since taking over between the pipes. "Vokoun, since hes come in, hes been great," Pittsburgh forward Jarome Iginla said. "You can tell hes feeling gd, and I think its definitely a gd situation to have as a team when you have two confident goaltenders like we have." Chris Kunitz also notched a goal and an assist, with Paul Martin and Pascal Dupuis potting the other goals for the Penguins, who finiished 2-for-4 on the power play and added a short-handed goal in the victory.dddddddddddd Dupuis has six goals in seven playoff games this spring, tying him with Chicagos Patrick Sharp for the postseason lead. "I think hes always had the speed and strength, but hes going to a lot of tough areas and hes getting opportunities to put it in the back of the net," Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said of Dupuis. The seventh-seeded Senators, who beat Montreal in five games during the opening round, fell to 2-2 on the road in the 2013 playoffs after dropping Game 1 in Pittsburgh. Colin Greening scored the lone Ottawa goal, while Craig Anderson was tagged for all four goals on 30 shots for the Senators, who failed to score on all five of their power-play opportunities. "The difference of the game is obviously the execution of their power play," Ottawa coach Paul MacLean lamented. "And giving up a shorthanded goal accentuates our special-teams play much more." Ottawa hit on 6-of-25 chances with the man advantage in Round 1 against Montreal. Senators head coach Paul MacLean confirmed that Eric Gryba is out and Andre Benoit is in for Game 2. As well, Guillaume Latendresse will play for Zack Kassian. Jason Spezza is nearing a return from back surgery, but Ottawas top centerman has been ruled out for Fridays game. Spezza hasnt played since the fifth game of the season, but he could be ready to jump back on the ice when the series heads to Canadas capital city. The Senators will host Game 3 on Sunday. This is the fourth all-time playoff series between the clubs. Ottawa won the first encounter in the 2007 conference quarterfinals, before Pittsburgh ousted the Sens from the first round in 2008 and 2010. The Penguins won all three meetings with Ottawa during the regular season. ' ' '
