CHICAGO -- Brian McCann picked up where he left off before the All-Star break. McCann hit his third homer in as many games to put Atlanta ahead and Tim Hudson (7-7) earned his third straight win to give the NL East-leading Braves a 6-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night. After homers in his last two games before the break, McCann slammed his 13th homer in the sixth inning, a three-run shot that broke open a 2-2 game. McCann also homered in three straight games last season, from July 18 to 21. "Ive been feeling good for a while now," McCann said. "I think it takes every player in baseball four, five innings to get back into the swing of things when you take four or five days off. It was nice to get a win in the first game back." Hudson, meanwhile, shined in his third start after a 10-start winless streak. He pitched 7 1-3 innings, giving up four runs on eight hits while striking out four and walking two. Craig Kimbrell pitched the ninth for his 27th save in 29 outings. "Its been a while since Ive gotten a win here, about 15 years," Hudson said with a laugh. "I dont think I have a lot of games pitched here, but when I have pitched here it hasnt been too pretty at times. Its nice to finally get in the right column." White Sox starter John Danks (2-7) took his seventh loss in his last 10 starts. Danks pitched seven innings, allowing five runs on seven hits, including homers by McCann and Andrelton Simmons. He struck out four and walked none. Danks also uncorked a wild pitch before McCanns homer. "I wasnt quite as sharp as I wouldve liked," Danks said. Atlanta, which lost two of three before the All-Star break, snapped a five-game interleague losing streak to the White Sox. It was Chicagos eighth loss in its last 11 games, 22 of 31 and 32 of 45. The White Sox are 19 games under .500 for the first time since Sept. 27, 2007, when they were 70-89. Atlanta took a 2-0 lead in the third inning. Chris Johnson, who had three hits in the game, led off with a single and scored on Simmons ninth home run, to left field. Chicago tied the game in the bottom of the third. Gordon Beckham led off with a single, but was forced at second on a fielders choice to Josh Phegley. Alexei Ramirez singled, his first of three hits, advancing Phegley to second, and then Alex Rios followed with a two-run double deep to right-centre. White Sox manager Robin Ventura pulled Rios out of the game after the sixth because he felt his player didnt give full effort running to first in that double play. "We just expect more than that," Ventura said. "There is just expectations and we are not starting the second half off that way. It was simple, he will back in (Saturday). Tonight, thats what happens when you dont run." The Braves broke the game open with a three-run sixth. Joey Terdoslavich and Justin Upton both had singles and then advanced to second and third on a wild pitch by Danks. McCann then hit a two-out, 3-2 pitch for his 13th home run, giving the Braves a 5-2 lead. "I made a bad pitch. It kind of got to a point, for lack of a better way to put it, I ran out of things to throw to him," Danks said. Chicago scored two runs in the eighth to get within 5-4. Alejandro De Aza led off with walk and stole second and scored on Ramirezs RBI double to left. Jeff Keppingers bloop single to right scored Ramirez. The Braves added an insurance run in the ninth when Upton singled off White Sox reliever Matt Lindstrom, went to second on an infield out and scored on Johnsons single to right. "We got some timely hits, the three-run homer there, the two-run homer by Simmons that put us on the board and then that nice at-bat with Chris Johnson getting in that extra run in the ninth," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said.

NEW YORK -- At first glance, the new jersey just looks plain strange.The different colors and team names probably even cause a few double-takes.When NFL players switch from teams with which they had long been associated to new destinations, either through trades or free agency, it often takes a little getting used to for fans and sometimes the players themselves.Some, however, completely embrace the wardrobe makeover.I look good in red and blue, said a smiling Damon Harrison, the New York Giants nose tackle who spent his first four NFL season in the Jets green and white.Heres a look at some other familiar faces in new places -- and colors:---RYAN CLADY, LT, JETSThe four-time Pro Bowl selection was a fixture on Denvers offensive line, but injuries limited him to just 30 games over the last three seasons. When the Broncos signed former Seattle left tackle Russell Okung in March, Clady became expendable. Denver traded him to the Jets, who were in need of a left tackle after the durable DBrickashaw Ferguson suddenly retired in April. Clady, who has recovered from the torn knee ligament that kept him out all last season, will be in charge of protecting Ryan Fitzpatricks blind side. Career stats: 98 games played, 98 starts.---MATT FORTE, RB, JETSA workhorse for eight years in Chicago, the 30-year-old running back was signed by the Jets to add a versatile element to New Yorks backfield. He dealt with a hamstring injury through the first half of training camp, but played in the Jets third preseason game and should be ready to start in Week 1. Career stats: 8,602 yards rushing, 45 TDs; 487 catches, 4,116 yards, 19 TDs.---ARIAN FOSTER, RB, DOLPHINSRetirement appeared to be an option for Foster, who has missed significant parts of two of the last three seasons with major injuries. He played seven seasons for Houston, where he set franchise marks for yards rushing and TD runs, but was released in March. Foster signed a one-year deal with Miami, where he could complement Jay Ajayi. Career stats: 6,472 yards rushing, 54 TDs; 249 catches, 2,268 yards, 14 TDs.---ROBERT GRIFFIN III, QB, BROWNSThe No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 draft got his career with Washington off to an eye-popping start that was capped by a playoff appearance and being selected Offensive Rookie of the Year. Injuries and inconsistency marked the rest of his tenure, eventually losing his starting job to Kirk Cousins. After being cut in March by the Redskins, Griffin will try to resurrect his career in quarterback-starved Cleveland. Career stats: 8,097 yards passing, 40 TDs, 23 INTs; 1,480 yards rushing, 8 TDs.---CHRIS IVORY, RB, JAGUARSAfter being buried on New Orleans depth chart his first three seasons, Ivory was traded to the Jets in 2013 and became one of the AFCs top backs. Known for his bruising running style and his braids flying out from under the back of his helmet, Ivory became a fan favorite and set a career best with 1,070 yards rushing last season. New York allowed him to become a free agent and Ivory will team with T.J. Yeldon to form one of the leagues top running back duos. Career stats: 4,031 yarrds rushing, 24 TDs; 53 catches, 382 yards, 2 TDs.dddddddddddd---MALIK JACKSON, DL, JAGUARSA key player on Denvers Super Bowl-winning defense, Jackson was in high demand in free agency this offseason after five sacks, a safety and seven passes defensed last season. He signed a six-year, $90 million deal with Jacksonville, making him one of the NFLs highest-paid defensive linemen. Career stats: 134 total tackles, 14 sacks, 15 passes defensed, 2 forced fumbles.---LAMAR MILLER, RB, TEXANSAfter a successful four-year run in Miami that included nearly 2,000 yards rushing and 16 touchdowns the last two seasons, Miller signed with Houston for four years in March. The 25-year-old running back showed good versatility while with the Dolphins and is expected to carry much of the workload in the Texans backfield. Career stats: 2,930 yards, 19 TDs; 117 catches, 887 yards, 3 TDs.---DeMARCO MURRAY, RB, TITANSMurray went from being the NFLs rushing leader in 2014 with Dallas to becoming a frustrated and sometimes-forgotten part of Philadelphias backfield under Chip Kelly last season. The two-time Pro Bowl selection had just one 100-yard game with the Eagles, who traded him to Tennessee in March. Hell try to revive his career while teaming with rookie Derrick Henry in the Titans powerful backfield. Career stats: 5,228 yards, 34 TDs; 215 catches, 1,522 yards, 2 TDs.---JOSH NORMAN, CB, REDSKINSThe chatty, opinionated and extremely talented cornerback is coming off a career breakthrough with Carolina that was capped by a Super Bowl appearance, his first Pro Bowl selection and included an on-field back-and-forth with the Giants Odell Beckham Jr. during a game. The Panthers placed the franchise tag on him in the offseason, but then rescinded it when they couldnt come to a long-term agreement. He became an unrestricted free agent and signed a five-year, $75 million deal with Washington. Career stats: 7 INTs (2 for TDs), 181 total tackles, 37 passes defensed, 4 forced fumbles.---OLIVIER VERNON, DE, GIANTSVernon has never made a Pro Bowl, but he established himself as a promising pass rusher in four seasons with Miami, and he parlayed that into an eye-popping five-year, $85 million contract, the richest for a defensive end in NFL history at that time. Hell be expected to provide a big boost to a pass rush that has no one returning with more than two sacks last season. Career stats: 29 sacks, 196 total tackles, 3 forced fumbles.---ERIC WEDDLE, S, RAVENSThe three-time Pro Bowl pick and two-time first-team All-Pro was known for his bushy beard and ballhawking skills in nine seasons with San Diego. He was the glue of the Chargers defense and led them in tackles five times, but friction between Weddle and the team led to a bitter divorce -- and the 31-year-old safety signing a four-year deal with Baltimore. Career stats: 19 INTs (3 TDs), 850 total tackles, 6 1/2 sacks, 71 passes defensed, 5 forced fumbles.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Discount NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Black NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL T-shirts Wholesale NFL Autographed Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Online NFL Jerseys From China Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL T-shirts Wholesale NFL Camo Jerseys Jerseys From China China Womens NFL Jerseys China Jerseys Cheap Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping ' ' '
