ATLANTA -- The Braves big bear is healthy. Cody Latimer Jersey . That was bad news for Colorados Franklin Morales. After sitting out most of the week with an illness, Evan Gattis homered twice to support Julio Teherans six scoreless innings and Atlanta beat the Rockies 7-0 on Sunday. Gattis was given the nickname "El Oso Blanco" -- Spanish for "The White Bear" -- as a rookie in 2013, when he hit 21 homers. He is on pace for a bigger year as he has replaced Brian McCann as the teams primary catcher. Gattis (6 foot 4, 260 pounds) drove in three runs with the two homers, giving him 10. "Hes a big, strong boy," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. Justin Upton and Chris Johnson added two-run homers for the NL East-leading Braves, who have won six of eight. Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki left the game in the eighth inning. He appeared to limp slightly while walking slowly off the field, accompanied by a trainer. He said he avoided an injury when he hit his left foot on his backswing. "I think Im all right," Tulowitzki said. Gattis missed four games with viral symptoms. He returned with no hits and a walk in Saturdays 3-1 loss to the Rockies before hitting a homer in the second and a two-run shot in the fourth off Franklin Morales (3-4) on Sunday. "Ive got my strength back -- or lucky," Gattis said. Teheran (4-3) began the day fourth in the NL in ERA. He lowered his average from 1.92 to 1.77 with six scoreless innings. He had seven strikeouts while allowing only four hits. It was the second straight dominant win for Teheran, who was coming off his second shutout of the season, a 5-0 win over Milwaukee on Tuesday. After throwing a career-high 128 pitches against the Brewers, Gonzalez limited the right-hander to 93 pitches on Sunday. "That worked out great," Gonzalez said. "We want these guys for 35 starts, and he understood right away. Weve got to keep an eye on these guys. We want them for the long haul." Anthony Vavaro pitched two perfect innings and Luis Avilan recorded the final three outs to complete the combined four-hitter. Morales lasted only 4 2-3 innings, giving up five runs and three walks and five hits, including three homers. Johnson added to the lead with his two-run homer off Nick Masset in the eighth. "This Atlanta club hits the ball in the seats," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "Thats what they do. "A couple of balls got elevated and they hit them out." Gattis hit his first homer off Morales with one out in the second, a towering shot that sent centre fielder Charlie Blackmon crashing into the wall near the 400-foot mark. Upton walked with one out in the fourth before Gattis lined his second homer of the day about 12 rows deep into the left-field seats. Left fielder Carlos Gonzalez took one step to his right before standing and watching the homer quickly reach the seats. "I tried to use both sides of the plate, but sometimes I missed my spots and thats why I got hit," Morales said. Teheran didnt look sharp early. Blackmon and Michael Cuddyer had back-to-back singles to open the game before Teheran recovered with three straight outs. In the second, a single by Charlie Culberson and fielding error by second baseman Tyler Pastornicky on D.J. LeMahieus grounder put runners on first and second with one out. Following a sacrifice by Morales, Teheran escaped the inning when shortstop Andrelton Simmons charged a grounder by Blackmon, who was out on a close play at first. NOTES: The three homers allowed by Morales set a season high. ... Josh Rutledge replaced Tulowitzki at shortstop. ... ... Gonzalez said Pastornicky and Ramiro Pena are not in a strict platoon at second base. Gonzalez said Dan Uggla would start "whenever we feel we can get a good matchup." ... The Braves open a two-game series against the Red Sox on Monday when RHP Ervin Santana faces Boston RHP Clay Buchholz. ... The Rockies move to Philadelphia, where RHP Jhoulys Chacin will face RHP Kyle Kendrick on Monday. Kareem Martin Giants Jersey .

"Her knee was swollen again after Val dIsere," U.S. womens head coach Alex Hoedlmoser told The Associated Press.After visiting the Taj Mahal, Englands left-armer picks his six wonders of the WT20 so far and looks ahead to a possible seventh... Were two wins away from achieving something very special but for now our sole focus is on Wednesdays semi-final against New Zealand. So far weve shown glimpses of what we can do as a team without quite coming together as a collective unit yet, which is an exciting prospect. If we can put it all together against New Zealand, were going to be very difficult to beat. Kane Williamson has done a fantastic job leading them - theyve adapted to the conditions really well and, like us, have got across the line in some tight games.So this semi-final is going to be another exciting game in what has already been an emotionally and mentally exhausting tournament.The other day I was sat in bed watching the West Indies v South Africa game hoping the result would go our way and I even felt like I was playing in that game as well!Itd be a dream come true to reach the final, which would be our sixth game. Here are a few of the standout moments for me so far - in no particular order!First wicket - If it had been Chris Gayle, the result against West Indies might have been different! Still, not many people can say theyve taken a wicket at a World Cup so dismissing Johnson Charles in my first over was a special moment that Ill cherish for ever. Singing the national anthem before the game was right up there too. What a feeling! Shame it wasnt the chap in the photo... Stunning chase - Our tournament came alive with the win over South Africa. Our bowling disappeared around the park but to chase down such a massive score showed the character in the squad. On our day, the lads believe we can beat anyone in the world. Rootys knock was phenomenal but one of the strengths of our side is that weve got people who can contribute all the way down the order. Rooty talks Rob Key through his extraordinary innings Taj Mahal visit - It was a long old journey to get there - three hours there, four hours back to spend one hour at the Taj Mahal - but it was one I had to make even it if was an early start. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, after all and you never know when you might be back. Jos and Rooty marked the moment by recreating the Atherton-Fairbrother pose… Jos and Rooty do an Athers and Fairbrother... Exploring Delhi - I was lucky enough to play at the DLF Golf and Country Club - one of the most beautiful courses Ive played - but after four or five holes Id barely played a shot without losing a ball and it got to the stage where my caddie was bringing two balls to me and a few clubs for each shot I was playing, because it was an absolute debacle.. Saquon Barkley Jersey. I was close to going to the driving range and getting some lessons. Jos and Morgs were with me at the time - I was that bad they didnt even bother saying anything. Hitting out against Afghanistan after building a platform... Afghanistan comeback - I was run out without facing a ball against South Africa so I hadnt had a lot of time in the middle before walking out to bat against Afghanistan with the score on 85-7! Mo and I thought wed try to rotate the strike as best as we could and hopefully give ourselves a bit of a platform to go for it in the last two or three overs of the innings. Mo and I catch up with Rob Key after our victory over Afghanistan... We managed to do that and get a large enough total to get across the line. The Afghan lads were really nice guys - passionate about playing cricket - and really relished playing in this competition.Sri Lanka success - Going into it, I was still exhausted from watching South Africa against West Indies the previous evening!
