ATLANTA -- The Rockies could consider placing outfielder Carlos Gonzalez on the disabled list after he aggravated his sprained right middle finger. Losing Gonzalez would be a big blow to a Colorado lineup that was overwhelmed by Mike Minor and the Braves in a 9-0 loss Wednesday night. Minor allowed only two hits in seven scoreless innings and Brian McCann hit a three-run homer in Atlantas seven-run third. Gonzalez left the game in the fourth inning. He aggravated the sprained finger on a swing in the first. Manager Walt Weiss said the disabled list was a possibility for Gonzalez. "I think its worth having a discussion," Weiss said. "I think he got it pretty gd, t. It didnt lk gd. Its the same thing. "Weve talked about it; hes probably going to be dealing with this for a little while. Well have to re-evaluate where hes at." Gonzalezs injury affects his ability to grip the bat. He lost the bat on his follow-through while striking out to end the first. The bat hit catcher McCanns shoulder. The Braves have scored at least six runs in one inning while winning the first three games of the four-game series. Atlanta has scored 29 runs in the three wins. Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said it was frustrating to lose the last two games by a combined margin of 20-3. "These last two games have just been bad," Tulowitzki said. "We got our butts kicked." While the Rockies have struggled, the Braves, who had 15 hits, keep coming up with big innings. "I cant remember a time ever in my career three games in a row they scored, what, six-plus runs?" Tulowitzki asked. "Six in two games, seven tonight? In one inning? "Putting together hit after hit. ... A little bit of everything. Its a tough series." Tyler Chatwd (7-4) allowed a career-high seven earned runs on 10 hits, one walk and one hit batter in only 2 1-3 innings. "I fell behind and they hit some balls gd," Chatwd said. "You cant fall behind hot teams like that." Weiss said Chatwd was just the latest Colorado starter to struggle "getting balls up in the middle of the plate." Weiss said Atlantas batters "arent missing anything thats in the middle of the plate. ... I think its been the same thing three nights in a row." It was a rare pr outing by Chatwd, who was coming off back-to-back wins. "I felt gd about having Chatty out there tonight, the way he competes," Weiss said. "Hes throwing the ball gd." Freddie Freeman drove in two runs with four hits and Justin Upton had three hits. "Were clicking on all cylinders," Freeman said. Atlanta is threatening to run away with the NL East. The Braves lead second-place Washington by 11 games in the division, their biggest advantage in nine years. Minor (11-5) didnt walk a batter and didnt allow a Colorado baserunner to reach second base. Dexter Fowler led off the game with a single up the middle and was thrown out by McCann attempting to steal second. That was the only baserunner Minor allowed until Nolan Arenados single with two outs in the fifth. Minor, coming off a strong outing in a win over the Cardinals on Friday night, has given up two or fewer runs in five straight starts. He threw 95 pitches, 70 for strikes. Freemans single in the first inning drove in Jason Heyward, who reached on second baseman Charlie Culbersons fielding error. The Braves first six batters reached base in the third inning. Freeman and Evan Gattis had run-scoring singles before McCanns 15th homer pushed the lead to 6-0. Minors RBI single knocked Chatwd out of the game. Freeman singled and scored on Chris Johnsons single off Adam Outman in the fourth. Gonzalez, who throws left-handed, threw out Dan Uggla at the plate from left field in the second inning as Uggla tried to score from second on Andrelton Simmons single. TV replays indicated catcher Yorvit Torrealba may have missed Uggla on his swipe tag, and Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez came out for a brief exchange with home-plate umpire Marty Foster. DJ LeMahieu pinch hit for Gonzalez in the fourth inning. There was a delay in the seventh after Rockies right-hander Wilton Lopez hit Simmons with a pitch. The ball glanced off Simmons chest and then squarely hit Fosters left forearm. Foster left the game after he was examined by Braves assistant trainer Jim Lovell. X-rays were negative. Umpire Marvin Hudson moved from first base to take over at home. Luis Ayala pitched the final two innings and stranded two baserunners in the ninth. NOTES: Chatwds ERA climbed from 2.48 to 3.15. ...

In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. ATLANTA -- The path is clear for Dedrick Mills to lead Georgia Techs running attack in 2017.Mills promises to walk a straight line in that path and avoid the problems which cut short his playing time this year.The transfer of leading rusher Marcus Marshall to James Madison leaves Mills as the heavy favorite to start at the B-back position the two shared much of 2016. Mills is expected to start when he completes his sometimes rocky freshman season in the TaxSlayer Bowl against Kentucky on Dec. 31.Mills missed three games while serving two suspensions for undisclosed violations of team rules. He still ran for 602 yards, only 22 fewer than Marshall, while easily leading the team with 11 rushing touchdowns.Without the suspensions , a gd season could have been great. He says there will be no problems next year.Oh, next season there will be none of that, Mills said Monday. It just pushed me for next season. Ill be there every game. Im going hard, 100 percent.Mills (5-10, 217) was a perfect fit as the power back in coach Paul Johnsons spread-option offense. He scored the game-winning touchdown in Georgia Techs season-opening win over Boston College in Dubin. He had three-touchdown games against Vanderbilt and Miami.Johnson said Mills, from Ware County High Schl in Waycross, Georgia, got a jump on everybody by enrolling early for spring practice.Hes a guy who loves to play the game, Johnson said. I wish that hed played more games this year for whatever the circumstances were, but I think if hell continue to work and continue to do the right things hes got a bright future. He can be really gd.Georgia Tech (8-4) will need Mills to be really gd next season. The Yellow Jackets leader, quarterback Justin Thhomas, will complete his career in the bowl game.dddddddddddd The running backs, including Mills and Qua Searcy, who ran for the game-winning touchdown in the 28-27 win over Georgia to close the regular season, will need to fill the leadership void.With him leaving its going to take out a lot, said Mills of Thomas. ...Whoever plays quarterback next year is still going to have our faith, but I feel Ive got to go twice as hard as I did this season.Georgia Tech also is losing assistant coach Bryan Ck, who coached the quarterbacks and B-backs and has been named Georgia Southerns offensive crdinator.Ck said Marshalls transfer has led to more work for freshmen running backs Quaide Weimerskirch and KirVonte Benson in practice. Georgia Tech also will lose senior B-back Marcus Allen.Quaide and KirVonte have gotten more reps and hopefully theyll carry that forward, Ck said, adding he didnt know if the young backs will play in the bowl game.You can see a difference in those two now and where they were in August, no question, Ck said. So youd like them to pick up in the spring where theyre leaving off this week.Game notes The teams last bowl practice at Georgia Tech will be on Wednesday. The team is scheduled to arrive in Jacksonville on Dec. 27. ... Johnson said two freshman quarterbacks, Jay Jones and Lucas Johnson, were impressive in a scrimmage on Saturday for players not expected to play in the bowl game.
