ATLANTA -- Mike Minor took advantage of support from unexpected sources -- a combined seven hits by three fill-in outfielders and, in an even bigger surprise, his own two-run double. Minor struggled early before recovering to throw seven strong innings, and also hit a go-ahead double that led the Atlanta Braves over Homer Bailey and the Cincinnati Reds 5-2 Saturday. The Braves, who lost starting outfielders Jason Heyward, B.J. Upton and Justin Upton to injuries in the first two games of the series, found success with their fill-ins. Jose Constanza, recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett, started in left field and hit leadoff with Reed Johnson in centre and rookie Joey Terdoslavich in right. The patchwork outfield combined for seven hits, including three by Constanza. "I feel bad for them to be hurt," Constanza said through a translator. "Its a bad way to be called up, but I was ready to come up here and help the team win." Brian McCann and Dan Uggla hit home runs, but the second-string outfielders stole the show. "I think Vegas lost a lot of money today when they saw our lineup," said Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez. "But you know what, you cant judge and you cant handicap heart." Minors two-run double in the fifth inning gave Atlanta a 3-2 lead and provided the pitcher a rare opportunity to brag about his batting skills, even though he was hitting only .086 before the at-bat. "Oh yeah, every time I go up there I think Im going to hit the ball," Minor said with a slight smile. "No, actually I thought it was a fastball and it was a slider." Minor (9-4) snapped a streak of five straight starts without a win. The left-hander allowed two runs on six hits and one walk -- including only one hit in his last five innings. Minors two-run double in the fifth gave the Braves a 3-2 lead. Bailey (5-8) lost his second straight start since throwing his second career no-hitter on July 2. He faded after being given an early 2-0 lead, allowing four runs on 10 hits in six innings. Bailey said he was hurt by infield singles and ground balls, including Minors double, that skipped down the line. "It was just one of those days," Bailey said. "It just seems like Ive had a lot of one-of-those days." Minor appeared headed toward a short outing when he threw 51 pitches in the first two innings. He gave up singles to Shin-Soo Choo and Joey Votto and walked Brandon Phillips to load the bases with one out in the first. Minor escaped by striking out Jay Bruce and ending the inning on Todd Fraziers liner to third base. "Its disheartening to see it happening over and over again," Reds manager Dusty Baker said of the wasted scoring opportunity. "(Minor) wasnt sharp. We had him on the ropes and then we came out with nothing. His pitch count was high, then he settled down in the middle innings and was extremely tough on us." The Reds took a 2-0 lead in the second. Zack Cozart tripled, Chris Heisey doubled and Choo hit an RBI single. Minor then recorded 11 consecutive outs, providing his teammates an opportunity to rally. After McCanns 12th homer in the fourth, the Braves took the lead with two runs in the fifth. Johnson singled, Terdoslavich hit his first career double and Minor followed with a sharp grounder down the left-field line that drove in both runners. Constanza hit an RBI single in the sixth. Uggla hit his 17th homer off Alfredo Simon in the seventh. Braves reliever Luis Avilan walked Votto and gave up a single to Phillips with two outs in the eighth. Bruce ended the inning with a fly ball. Craig Kimbrel struck out Frazier, Cozart and pinch-hitter Xavier Paul in the ninth for his 26th save. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said before the game he is confident Heyward can recover from his strained right hamstring by resting through the All-Star break. Gonzalez said the "trickiest" injury is Justin Uptons left calf strain. He said calf injuries can be nagging. B.J. Upton, who has strained right adductor (upper leg, inside), said he felt "a little better" Saturday but couldnt predict if he expects to be ready after the All-Star break. The Braves plan to delay decisions on possibly placing the Upton brothers on the disabled list until after the break. NOTES: Minor earned his first win since June 9 at Dodger Stadium. ...

Benji Marshall says it would be unfair for Jarryd Hayne to turn out for Parramatta this year and has cast doubt on whether the code-hoping star will return to the NRL at all.Haynes future is uncertain after he was cut from the Fiji Rugby Sevens squad, quashing his Olympic dream.He was been linked with a return to the Eels - the club he quit to pursue a career in the NFL in late 2014 - as early as this month.Skipper Kieran Forans decision to quit the embattled club, to address personal issues, has seemingly opened the door for the Eels to fit Hayne under the salary cap for the rest of the season.However St George Illawarra playmaker Marshall said it wouldnt be right for the NRL to rubber stamp Haynes contract because Foran was already set to miss the rest of the year with a shoulder injury and his salary should still count towards their cap.First of all theyd have to be under the cap to do that, but I dont think they could fit him under the cap in their current situation, Marshall said on Fox Sports NRL 360 onn Tuesday night.ddddddddddddKieran Foran was out for the season already through injury. How could they wipe him off the cap this year?If hes wiped off the cap next year and so on, then fair enough. But for the rest of this year he wasnt going to be playing anyway.Marshall, who played six Super Rugby games for the Auckland Blues after quitting the NRL in 2014, said he doubted any NRL club would be able to sign Hayne because his worth would have sky rocketed over the past one-and-a-half years.As much as Marshall admitted hed like to see Hayne back in rugby league, he doubted NRL clubs had the hip pockets to compete with cashed-up European rugby union.In terms of him coming back to the game, theres going to be a lot of money offered from rugby, Marshall said.I think hed be worth more money (now).His off-field and marketing potential (has gone up), as well as what hes done in the NRL.
