MIAMI -- Freddie Freemans ongoing hitting streak wasnt enough to keep the Atlanta Braves best stretch this season going.Freeman had an RBI single in the first inning to extend his string to 28 games and added a home run for Atlanta, but the Braves season-best seven-game winning streak ended with a 6-4 loss to the Miami Marlins on Saturday night.Another Freeman night, extending his hitting streak, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said.Its the longest streak of Freemans career and one shy of the longest in the majors this season by Bostons Jackie Bradley Jr.Freeman has also reached base in 44 straight.It feels good, Freeman said. Obviously, Ive worked really hard and things are clicking right now. Im getting pitches to hit and Im not missing them.The loss ended a season-long seven-game winning streak for the Braves, who are 19-13 in their last 32 after starting 44-79.Last two or three months now weve been playing real good baseball, Freeman said. It doesnt matter how many runs were down, were going to fight all the way to the end.It was a little bit of everything that fueled the Miami Marlins offense with Derek Dietrich hitting a two-run homer and Dee Gordon stealing three bases.Thats how we really want it to go most nights, Gordon said. Weve been scuffling a little bit so to have everybody clicking with getting guys over, timely hitting is good for us.Gordon had two hits, two walks and his stolen base total was one shy of tying the Marlins single-game franchise high, which he has done on two separate occasions.When Dee is able to get on and being able to impact it like that -- it puts pressure on the pitcher and the defense, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. What I liked about tonight was that he was willing to take his walks. You really want your leadoff guy to get on base and it doesnt matter how.Brian Ellington (4-2) earned the win in relief and A.J. Ramos recorded his 39th save in 42 chances.The Braves pulled within 5-4 on a wild pitch by Fernando Rodney in the seventh inning.Miami jumped to an early 2-1 lead on Dietrichs two-run homer to right field in the first inning.Both starting pitchers exited before the fifth inning. Miamis Wei-Yin Chen allowed two runs in four innings and Atlantas Aaron Blair (1-7) allowed five runs over 3 1/3 innings.I just didnt have the command that I had five days ago, Blair said. I got myself in trouble walking the leadoff hitter two of the four innings. I put myself in bad counts in those situations.MARLINS SPEEDThe Marlins stole five bases. Yefri Perez and Realmuto also stole a base off catcher Anthony Recker.The five steals are the most since the Marlins stole five against Pittsburgh on Aug. 25, 2015.DIETRICH CATCHDietrich made a catch falling into the stands down the first-base line on a popup by Recker in the eighth inning.

Irving Fryar Patriots Jersey . -- Team after team passed on Andre Ellington in the draft. (STATS) -- Looking to bounce back from another lopsided defeat and trying to avoid its first 0-4 start in 28 years, Murray State will have quarterback KD Humphries available to help accomplish both.After missing last weekends forgettable 50-17 loss to Southern Illinois with a shoulder injury, the senior will be under center Saturday night when the Racers open Ohio Valley Conference play against visiting Southeast Missouri State (0-3). Coach Mitch Stewart said sitting Humphries against the Salukis was more of a precaution than anything, considering it was a nonconference contest.KD feels fine, feels great, Stewart said. Hes full go. The trainer said hes full go.He was, to be honest with you, kind of pissed at me last week because I didnt let him play. But it is what it is.Though Humphries has thrown for more than 7,800 yards and 52 touchdowns in four seasons at Murray State, hes struggled in 2016 while throwing two TD passes and five interceptions. Hes been sacked seven times and has yet to rush for a score after doing so 11 times the past two years.Humphries, however, is a team leader who provides a valuable veteran presence on a young squad. While his throws have been limited in practice, Stewart said the reigns will come off Humphries this weekend. Even when it comes to tucking and running the ball.Hes got to play the way hes played ball up to this point, Stewart said.Moving forward, the trick to KD right now is me getting enough reps during the week with him so that he feels comfortable with the game plan and with what hes supposed to do. At the same, limiting his throws as much as possible so that we can get his shoulder to calm done as much as we can.Humphries has had his mmoments against SEMO, which last opened 0-4 in 2013.dddddddddddd In 2014s 44-41 double-overtime home victory over the Redhawks, he threw for a career-high six touchdowns. The Racers fell 27-10 last season at SEMO, but Humphries threw for 363 yards.How successful Murray State is Saturday night, however, might depend on how much its defense can improve. The Racers rank 114th in the FCS allowing 514 yards per contest and have yielded at least 50 points twice already.Though SEMO is 8 for 8 in the red zone, it hasnt scored more than 24 points and dropped the last two by a combined 11. The Redhawks led 24-13 with 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter at home last Saturday against Indiana State, but ended up falling 27-24 as the Sycamores scored the go-ahead TD with 10 seconds remainingYou got no choice (than to move on), coach Tom Matukewicz said. Were not dwelling on anything. Our future starts now.Redhawks senior Tremane McCullough rushed for a career-best 220 yards and a TD on 27 carries against Murray State last season. This year, though, hes gained 103 without a score on 21 attempts. McCullough has caught 15 passes for 132 yards.This matchup highlights the first full slate of league games on the weekend.Following an impressive 24-21 victory over then-No. 5 Illinois State, Eastern Illinois (2-1) -- 18th in the STATS FCS Top 25 -- tries to extend winless Austin Peays road losing streak to 39 games.
