Hamels (4-5) won for the second time in three starts, giving up one run, striking out nine and walking none. He threw 71 of 95 pitches for strikes. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez knew Hamels was going to be tough to beat when he saw the early command of his fastball. "Its not a straight fastball," Gonzalez said. "It sinks and it cuts a lot to the right-handed hitters, and its not an easy at-bat. He did that against us." Atlanta, which had a three-game winning streak snapped, cut its deficit to 2-1 in the seventh inning on Johnsons RBI double. The Braves are tied with Washington for first place in the NL East.

Archer threw six solid innings, Evan Longoria hit a three-run homer and the Rays split a four-game series with Toronto by beating the Blue Jays 7-2 on Thursday night. Archer (1-0) allowed two runs, four hits, two walks and had seven strikeouts. Archer and the Rays agreed to a $25.5 million, six-year deal Wednesday.

"Its a proud moment for me because this has been my home for so long," Longoria said. Brandon Morrow (0-1) gave up four runs and seven hits over five innings in his first start since May 28. The right-hander missed the final four months last season due to an entrapped radial nerve in his right forearm. "That was a tough one where you feel like you pitched better than the line," Morrow said.

Gibbons wanted to challenge an out call on Lawries one-out grounder in the ninth, but was denied the opportunity because he was too late in telling the umpires of his decision.
