MIAMI -- The Miami Marlins proved they can win the close ones, too. Mario Edwards Jr Jersey . After scoring 18 runs in their last two wins, the Marlins found that winning a tight game can be just as enjoyable. Giancarlo Stanton and Casey McGehee hit consecutive run-scoring singles off David Carpenter during a two-run rally in the seventh inning that led the Marlins to a 5-4 win over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night and a three-game sweep of the NL East leader. "Honestly, I like wins, I dont care how we get them," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "9-0 is fun, but a game like tonight, 5-4, where youre putting guys in some situations they havent been in and see how they respond, thats fun too." Miami has won six straight home games for the first time at Marlins Park, which opened in 2012. It is the longest home winning streak for the team since the Marlins won eight in a row from June 20 to July 1, 2009. With the Marlins trailing 4-3, pinch-hitter Reed Johnson singled off Ian Thomas (1-1) leading off the seventh and took second on Christian Yelichs single. Derek Dietrich lined out, and Carpenter relieved and gave up the back-to-back hits. "Weve done a really good job in putting ourselves in situations to have a chance late in games," McGehee said. "Fortunately, tonight we were able to get some hits that were big." Mike Dunn (3-3) pitched a hitless seventh, and Steve Cishek got four outs for his sixth save in seven chances to complete the Marlins first series sweep of Atlanta since 2009. Cishek relieved with two on and two outs in the eighth, walked Andrelton Simmons, then struck out pinch-hitter Ramiro Pena and pitched a perfect ninth. The Marlins bullpen allowed one hit in three shutout innings. Cishek admitted being a bit nervous between the eighth and ninth innings. "I was pacing around the dugout," he said. "I wanted the offence to get more runs, of course, but I was just trying to stay focused and stay sharp mentally and make sure I was ready to get back out there and get the job done." The Marlins swept Atlanta at home for the first time since June 13-15, 2006. "Its huge for us," Redmond said. "These guys keep battling and keep pushing forward and moving on and really picking each other up playing with a lot of energy out there." Garrett Jones had a home run for the Marlins. Evan Gattis and B.J. Upton homered for the Braves. Marlins starter Henderson Alvarez allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings, giving up multiple homers in a game for the first time since Sept. 24, 2012. Atlanta starter Ervin Santana gave up three runs and five hits in six innings. The last time the Braves lost three straight was Sept. 15-17, 2013. "The way they scored in the seventh inning, they got a couple balls to drop and they got some ground balls that got through the infield off of Carpenter," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We had some opportunities. Now we take a flight home and stop this losing streak." Miami led 2-0 in the third when Justin Heyward, batting with one on, grounded softly to Jones at first, who tossed to Alvarez covering the base. Heyward was initially called out by first base umpire Jim Reynolds, but the call was reversed by the review umpire in New York when a replay showed Alvarez missed the bag and the tag. Upton followed with a three-run homer. Adeiny Hechavarria hit an RBI grounder in the fourth, but Gattis homer put Atlanta back ahead in the sixth.

This is the final meeting of the season between these teams.? The Capitals were 5-4 winners in a shootout Oct.GREEN BAY, Wis. - Slowed by injury but perfect in the clutch, Aaron Rodgers used his accurate arm to help the Packers move one step closer to the Super Bowl.An officiating call that went Green Bays way also helped in a 26-21 win Sunday over the Dallas Cowboys.Rodgers went 9 of 9 in the fourth quarter, including and a laser-like 13-yard touchdown pass to Richard Rodgers for the go-ahead score with 9:10 left of the fourth quarter. The final period also featured the officials overturning what was initially a brilliant catch by Dallas Dez Bryant.Bryant jumped high for the 31-yard grab to the Packers 1 over cornerback Sam Shields, who had solid coverage on fourth-and-2 with 4:42 left in the game. But the play was ruled incomplete on replay review after Packers coach Mike McCarthy challenged the call.The NFL rule states the receiver must maintain control all the way to the ground. Replays showed Bryant bobbled the ball as he rolled into the end zone, with part of it touching the field.Some people think throwing the red flag is fun, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. It was such an impactful play, you had to challenge. It was a confident challenge. And a hopeful one, too.Hours after the game, Bryant tweeted: as I went to the ground I rolled over and I tipped the ball to gain better control. We lost and I accept it but please change that rule.The Cowboys were stunned. After going 8-0 away from home in the regular season, Dallas road winning streak came to a stunning end.This is really, seriously one of the more disappointing times Ive had on a personal basis, owner Jerry Jones said.All wasnt lost after the overturned call. The Cowboys could have seized another chance with the ball if their defence had stopped the Packers on two third-down plays with less than 3 minutes left.The Packers (13-4) converted both times and the Cowboys (13-5) started their off-season.While almost every Cowboys fan will remember this game for the reversed call, coach Jason Garrett said the loss didnt come down to officiating.We had 60 minutes, Garrett said. That play was big in the game, but there were plenty of other plays in the ballgame an unfortunately we didnt do things necessary to win the ballgame in the end.Five takeaways from the Packers first win in the playoffs when trailing at the half since a come-from-victory against San Francisco in 2002:CALF WATCH: Rodgers finished 24 of 35 for 316 yards and three scores. But he said he realized that his mobility might be more limited than he expected after throwing a 4-yard score to Andrew Quarless in the first quarter. Gareon Conley Jersey. Rodgers seemed be a bit more mobile as the game wore on. McCarthy said Rodgers got into a rhythm late.Rodgers said he felt better moving to his left out of the pocket. He suspected that he might be limited again this week at practice for the Seattle game.But there was no chance that he wasnt playing.I think I got 120 minutes left in me, Rodgers said.REMATCH: Seattle (13-4) beat Green Bay in the season opener, 36-16. The Seahawks have seemingly improved on defence since then, while the Packers are better on offence.But a slowed-down Rodgers will face a toughest test trying to evade Seattle defenders.Going up to Seattle, theyve got some guys that can get after the passer. We know its going to be a challenge, guard T.J. Lang said. We know everything starts with us up front as far as the run game and taking care of Aaron.WHAT A RUSH: Running back Eddie Lacy provided the offensive balance that the Packers desperately needed with Rodgers limited. He ran for 101 yards on 19 carries, including 45 on the Packers opening drive that ended with Quarless touchdown catch.Lacy has now run for at least 97 yards in six of his last seven games, just the kind of production the Packers need going into Seattle.ROMOS NIGHT: Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was an efficient 15 of 19 for 191 yards and two touchdowns in his return to his home state. Romo grew up in Burlington in southeastern Wisconsin.But his last pass attempt to Bryant didnt go Dallas way.The calls, they dont go your way sometimes, Romo said. Its disappointing whenever it does not go the way that you want. We had a chance to win.CATCHING KARMA: The Detroit Lions also chimed in on Bryants overturned catch. Detroits star receiver, Calvin Johnson, had a similar reception reversed in 2010, and they also were stung last week in the wild-card round against the Cowboys when the officials picked up a flag that would have given them a critical fourth-quarter first down.The Lions tweeted: Sorry @dallascowboys. We know the feeling, with a link to the Megatron play and the hashtag CompletingTheProcess.The NFL has used the Johnson play in explaining the rule to coaches and players.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___AP Pro Football Writer Barry Wilner contributed to this report.
