CINCINNATI - Justin Upton hit a two-run homer in the 12th inning Friday night, rallying the Atlanta Braves to a 3-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds after left-hander Mike Minor came up four outs short of a no-hitter. Uptons 25th homer off Manny Parra (0-1) gave Atlanta its seventh victory in eight games. David Hale (4-4) pitched out of a two-on threat in the 11th. Craig Kimbrel got the last three outs for his 38th save in 42 chances. The Reds managed only two hits — a pair of singles by Billy Hamilton — in their seventh consecutive loss. They fell seven games under .500 for the first time since 2009. Cincinnati (61-68) has dropped out of contention by going 10-24 since the All-Star break. Minor has only one complete game in his career, but he held the Reds without a hit into the eighth, bidding to become the first Braves pitcher to throw a no-hitter since Kent Mercker in 1994. Zack Cozart drew Minors fourth walk and advanced on a groundout. Hamilton lined an RBI single to centre with two outs to end the no-hitter on Minors 107th and final pitch. Cincinnatis defence kept it in the game even though the Reds couldnt get a hit until late. Mat Latos gave up nine hits — matching his season high — but limited the Braves to one run in six innings with the help of several run-saving defensive plays. Upton extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a single, helping the Braves load the bases with one out in the third. Cozart saved at least one run by making a diving stop on Tommy La Stellas grounder to the hole at shortstop and getting a forceout at second, holding Atlanta to one run on the play. Second baseman Brandon Phillips saved two more runs in the sixth. With runners on second and third and two outs, he made an over-the-shoulder catch of Jason Heywards fly to shallow right field. Atlanta (68-61) stranded six runners in scoring position over the first six innings. TRAINERS ROOM Reds: LHP Tony Cingrani is still having problems with his left shoulder, preventing him from throwing. He was on the DL in May with a sore shoulder, struggled after his return and was optioned to Triple-A Louisville, where his shoulder began bothering him again. ON DECK Braves: Ervin Santana (13-6) has won his only other career start against the Reds, beating them 5-4 on April 25 at Turner Field.

Hi Kerry, The recent issues in the Boston-Pittsburgh game have highlighted a number of officiating, game control, and player sportsmanship aspects.FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Percy Harvin is ready to go, and theres no question in his mind hell be playing Sunday.No matter what the injury report says.The New York Jets wide receiver is listed as questionable to play against the Titans in Tennessee on Sunday as he recovers from a sprained left ankle. Harvin sat out team drills Wednesday and Thursday, but was a limited participant Friday.Felt pretty good, Harvin said. I should be ready to roll. I practiced. I felt fine, and I expect to be on the field.Harvin, injured late in the fourth quarter at Minnesota last Sunday, had six catches for 124 yards and a TD against his former team. He was in a boot after the game, and coach Rex Ryan was stunned Harvin was even able to practice this week.The fact that hes out there is pretty amazing, Ryan said. He had a significant ankle injury, albeit a low-ankle, but for him, this is a quick heal. Its unbelievable how fast hes healing from it.Will he be able to go or not? Im still not sure.Harvin will likely be a game-time decision, while defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson is doubtful after missing two games with turf toe. While Wilkerson has made progress, it appears unlikely that hell play. Ryan said Wilkerson might not even make the trip to Tennessee.Safety Antonio Allen (hand) is questionable, while tight end Jace Amaro and linebacker Trevor Reilly are probable after recovering from concussions.In his six games since being acquired from Seattle, Harvin has provided the offence with a bit of a boost with 25 catches for 306 yards. He has also rushed for 99 yards on 19 carries, and served as the primary kick returner.Harvin tested his ankle during practtice Friday, making cuts on the field as if he were playing in a game.ddddddddddddI told all the coaches it felt good, he said. They said I looked good. I fully expect to play without any limitations.While Ryan has tempered expectations for Harvins availability, the wide receiver has maintained his optimism.Thats what hes been telling me the whole week, Ryan said. Im like, Hes crazy. And then he goes back out there today, and there he is. And he goes, Nah, Im feeling good.Harvin is also enjoying his time in New York despite the teams 2-11 record, and would definitely like to continue playing for the Jets beyond this season. He has four years left on his contract, with a base salary of $10.5 million for next season, so its possible New York might want to renegotiate that deal which he signed with Seattle.I feel at home here, he said. Im comfortable with all the players. I like the vibe around here, absolutely. I just overall love the whole organization.Harvin came to the Jets with the reputation of being a bit of a malcontent, a player who could disrupt the harmony in the locker room. Instead, he has been an ideal citizen since joining the Jets, and has become a favourite of his teammates during his short time with them.This is the guy that we see since hes been here, Ryan said. The respect hes already built with his current teammates is really impressive, and heres another reason. Were voting for the Ed Block Courage award and he got a ton of votes, and hes only been with us for six weeks. I think that just shows you what his current team thinks of him.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
