ATLANTA -- Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez has been waiting for his offence to wake up. Adam Vinatieri Jersey . Its too soon to declare that Atlantas bats have returned to respectability, but at least the Braves are taking the necessary steps. Freddie Freeman and Justin Upton homered to help Mike Minor win his second consecutive start, and Atlanta beat the Milwaukee Brewers 9-3 Monday night. "We started swinging the bats really, really well," Gonzalez said. "Not only the home runs, but there were some two-out singles, there were some base on balls, there was a lot of baserunning. It was nice to see." Pinch-hitter Ryan Doumit also went deep for Atlanta in a matchup of first-place teams. The Braves, who had lost 12 of 18, never trailed in winning their second straight game. Atlanta began the night with the fewest runs in the majors. But the Braves banged out a season-high 15 hits and improved to 18-5 when hitting a home run. Minor (2-2) gave up two runs and five hits with five strikeouts in 6 2-3 innings. The left-hander, lifted with a 4-2 lead, appreciated the run support. "Were still in first place, and everybodys talking about how bad we were playing," Minor said. "It was good to have that cushion when we won a lot of games, but we have too good of players to be worried about it." Ryan Braun and Khris Davis homered for the Brewers, who have lost three straight. Braun also threw out a runner at the plate from right field. Wily Peralta (4-3) allowed nine hits, a season-high four walks and three runs -- two earned -- with five strikeouts in five innings. The right-hander began the night 1-1 with a 1.29 ERA in three starts this month, but he couldnt overcome poor command of his pitches. "Thats the first time, but thats going to happen during the season," Peralta said. "You try to do your best and keep the team in the ballgame." Freeman led off the third with his ninth homer to make it 3-0. Davis lost his glove over the left-field fence on Freemans opposite-field shot. A fan picked up the glove off a ledge between the fence and the seats and tossed it back to Davis after Freeman rounded the bases. The Braves broke open a one-run game in the eighth, scoring five times off reliever Wei-Chung Wang to make it 9-3. Doumit hit a solo shot, Uptons 11th homer was a two-run drive, and Atlanta got RBI singles from Andrelton Simmons and Ramiro Pena. After Wang needed 40 pitches to get two outs, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke brought in first baseman Lyle Overbay off the bench to pitch. The 37-year-old Overbay pitched for the first time in his 14-year major league career, retiring Doumit on a popup. Doumit, who was teammates with Overbay in Pittsburgh, got a good laugh out of the at-bat. "That kids got nasty stuff," Doumit said with a smile. "Hes got a bright future ahead of him. Im going to keep my eye on him." Zach Duke, who relieved Peralta to begin the sixth, gave up a leadoff single to Minor and a single to Jason Heyward before Upton reached safely when catcher Martin Maldonado was called for interference. Rob Wooten relieved with one out and gave up Evan Gattis sacrifice fly that made it 4-2. David Hale relieved Minor with a runner at second base and ended the threat when Carlos Gomez grounded out. Brauns seventh homer, an opposite-field shot to right off David Carpenter, cut the margin to 4-3 in the eighth. Atlanta took a 1-0 lead in the first when Heyward led off with a single, stole second and scored on Maldonados passed ball and throwing error to third. The Braves went ahead 2-0 in the second on Penas RBI single. Davis fifth homer, a two-run shot in the fifth, cut it to 3-2. NOTES: The Braves have won 10 of their last 12 against Milwaukee at Turner Field. ... Gomez went 1 for 3 in his first game since last Tuesday. He served a three-game suspension last week for his role in a bench-clearing dustup April 20 at Pittsburgh and missed two weekend games at the Chicago Cubs with back stiffness and a stomach virus. ... Heyward, who began the game hitting .186 in his last 43 at-bats, went 3 for 4 with two stolen bases. ...

The Texans (7-6), who earned consecutive wins for the first time since starting the season 2-0, came into Week 14 two games behind the AFC South- leading Colts and make a visit to Indianapolis next week. They trailed 13-10 at halftime but scored 17 unanswered points as their defense -- led by J.J. Watts three sacks -- limited Jacksonville to 73 yards after the break. Ryan Fitzpatrick only threw 19 times and finished with 135 yards through the air but did run for a touchdown. One of his favorite targets, Andre Johnson, exited early in the second quarter with a concussion. Blake Bortles and the Jaguars (2-11) failed to build off last weeks 25-24 come-from-behind victory over the Giants. Bortles completed only 20-of-39 passes for 205 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Houston turned the tide on its first possession of the third quarter. The Texans twice moved the chains on third down and converted a 4th-and-1 on an 84-yard march that lasted eight-plus minutes. They were 0-for-6 on third down conversions coming into the drive. Twelve of the 16 plays were runs, and Alfred Blue put Houston ahead for good with a punishing plunge from a yard out. D.J. Swearinger picked off Bortles on the ensuing possession, and Ryan Griffins 25-yard catch gave Houston a 1st-and-goal from the 1. Foster was stuffed twice, Fitzpatrick was stopped for no gain on third down and Houston brought out its kicking unit before ccalling a timeout. Ryan Grant Jersey. The offense came back on the field after discussing the situation, and Foster cashed in despite being initially knocked backwards. He bounced it to the outside and strutted into the end zone for a crucial score. Randy Bullock tacked on a 44-yard field goal with 8:39 remaining, and Jacksonville turned it over on downs its next time with the ball. The Jaguars started off well with Bortles hooking up with fellow rookie Allen Hurns for a 4-yard strike in the corner of the end zone with 3:39 remaining in the opening quarter. Fosters season-long 51-yard run set up Bullocks 44-yard field goal, and Johnson caught a pair of passes early in the second quarter to help Houston get into the red zone. On third down, however, Johnson took a helmet-to-helmet hit from linebacker Telvin Smith and never returned. Smith was flagged for hitting a defenseless receiver, keeping the drive alive, and Fitzpatrick scored on a designed run from four yards out to give the Texans their first lead. A pair of promising Jacksonville drives stalled later in the second quarter, and Josh Scobee connected on field goals from 33 and 37 yards out to send the Jags into the break with a 13-10 lead.
