Tyler Flowers threw out pinch-runner Yefri Perez trying to steal second for the second out, and left fielder Mallex Smith made a game-ending diving catch on Justin Bours liner.Flowers drove in two runs for Atlanta and Martin Prado also drove in two for Miami, which has dropped three straight.Braves left fielder Matt Kemp, who turned 32, was ejected in the third inning by plate umpire Adam Hamari. And Braves interim manager Brian Snitker also was tossed. Kemp and Snitker argued with Hamari after the top of the third following a strikeout by Kemp and a bases-loaded flyout by Nick Markakis.The manager getting ejected gives you so much motivation, Garcia said through a translator. That lifted everyones emotions and made the team play better.Prado, who entered the game hitting an NL-best .377 with runners in scoring position, struck out with Ichiro Suzuki stranded at second in the bottom of the eighth.Atlantas Matt Wisler allowed two runs, two hits and three walks in six innings. Miamis Andrew Cashner gave up one run, three hits and three walks in six innings.Obviously you feel like youre going to put some runs on the board when you get a couple in the first, Mattingly said.

CHICAGO -- When Theo Epstein first joined the Chicago Cubs as the teams president in 2011, he said every chance to win would be considered sacred.But even with the Cubs maintaining a healthy lead in the National Leagues Central Division, Epstein knows he cant afford to take anything for granted. So when the Cubs traded for what Epstein called a game-changer in highly sought-after closer Aroldis Chapman from the New York Yankees Monday, Epstein said it improved the Cubs chances of capturing a World Series title this fall.The goal is to win three postseason series and thats not an easy thing to do, Epstein said. You need dynamic players and we felt like we could really benefit from an elite talent -- a game-changing type pitcher like Aroldis Chapman.In 31.1 innings this season with the Yankees, Chapman has converted 20 of 21 save opportunities and has posted a 2.01 ERA with 44 strikeouts.Chapman is set to join the Cubs Tuesday before his new team faces its crosstown rivals, the Chicago White Sox, in the second of a four-game series.

Manager Robin Ventura said in a series that already has a lot of build-up due to the in-town rivalry, his hitters will know what to expect.Hes tough -- he throws hard, Ventura said Monday. Its a live arm and its a nice addition to have. Well definitely have to turn it up when hes pitching.Ventura said the White Sox have already moved on from an incident involving Chris Sale, who will start in the series finale Thursday at Wrigley Field. Sale was suspended for five days after cutting up 1976 throwback jerseys the White Sox were to have worn on Saturday when Sale was scheduled to pitch.The incident wont impact how the White Sox compete against the Cubs, Ventura said.Guys have seen a lot of stuff and its about playing, Ventura said. I think theyre about playing and well go with that until something needs to be addressed. As far as playing, guys are just moving on and playing. ' ' '
