Minor leads Braves over Mets for 8th win in row

NEW YORK (AP) -- Light-hitting pitcher Mike Minor homered for his first two
RBIs in the majors and struck out 10 as the Atlanta Braves posted their second
win in a matter of hours, beating the New York Mets 6-0 Saturday for their
eighth straight victory.
Earlier, Dan Uggla hit a go-ahead single in the 10th inning and the Braves won
7-5 in the resumption of a game suspended because of rain Friday night after
eight innings with the score tied.
Minor (6-2) then pitched 7 1-3 innings of three-hit ball, sending the Mets to
their fifth loss in a row overall and eighth straight at Citi Field.
Minor was hardly a force at the plate coming in - he was a paltry 8 for 108
(.074) in four seasons, striking out in exactly half of those at-bats. He
perked up for his first two-hit game in the majors.
