PHILADELPHIA -- Patience helped the Atlanta Braves keep their winning streak going. After the Braves couldnt take advantage of a bases-loaded opportunity in the fourth inning, they used a five-run fifth inning, including consecutive homers from Brian McCann and Chris Johnson, for their eighth straight victory, 6-4 over the Phillies. "Everythings a run," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "You get a good run of hitting or you get a good run of pitching -- seems like our good run of pitching has been really consistent the whole year. But you see some guys with some good approaches, good at-bats, keep the lineup moving." McCanns two-run shot gave the Braves a 4-2 lead just two batters after Justin Upton tied it on an RBI single. "(It was) just a mistake pitch," Phillies rookie Ethan Martin (0-1) said on McCanns homer. "Theyll make you pay for mistakes." Johnson extended his hitting streak to 11 games with his seventh homer to make it 5-2. He also had a seventh-inning double to extend his streak of multihit games to eight games. It is the most for any Braves player since the franchise moved to Atlanta in 1966. "Im trying not to think about it really," Johnson said. "Im trying to keep my same approach every single day, try to come in tomorrow do my exact same routine." Kris Medlen (8-10) earned the victory, going six innings while giving up six hits and four runs, including three solo homers. He struck out eight and walked one. Darin Ruf, Delmon Young and Chase Utley homered for Philadelphia, which has lost 11 of 13 since the All-Star break. David Carpenter struck out the Philadelphia side in the seventh, Jordan Walden fanned two in the eighth and Craig Kimbrel got two in the ninth for his NL-best 32nd save. After Martin escaped the fourth, he struggled in the fifth and got just one out before leaving the game. He allowed six runs and eight hits overall. "We were trying to be patient the first time around, try to get him to throw his fastball, but he was pretty darn good the first couple innings," Gonzalez said. "Then I think the second time around the lineup we had a better look at him. But that young man is going to be successful." Ruf gave the Phillies a 1-0 lead in the second inning when he sent a full-count fastball into the left-field bleachers for his third home run of the season. On the next pitch, Delmon Young hit one out to right to make it 2-0. Jason Heyward got the Braves on the board with an RBI single in the third. Utley homered and Cody Asche added an RBI groundout in the sixth to close out the scoring. Phillies manager Charlie Manuel and shortstop Jimmy Rollins were ejected in the ninth inning arguing an apparent foul tip by Young that was called strike three. "I saw it or I wouldnt have gone out there," Manuel said. "It hit the ground. The umpire at first said he saw him catch it. ... I wasnt going to come back to the dugout embarrassed." Notes: Ruf has reached base in 30 straight games, going back to last season -- the longest active streak in the majors. Hes hit .310 over that span, with 15 of 31 hits going for extra bases. ... Over his 11-game hitting streak, Chris Johnson has gone 21 for 44 and raised his average to .347. ... Philadelphia placed rookie RHP Jonathan Pettibone (5-4, 4.04 ERA) on the 15-day disabled list prior to the game with a right shoulder strain. The Phillies also designated RHP J.C. Ramirez for assignment and promoted RHP Zach Miner from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. ... Curt Schilling, who spent eight-plus seasons of his 20-year career with the Phillies, was inducted into the Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame prior to the game. ... John Lannan (3-4, 4.10 ERA) will start Saturday for Philadelphia on three days rest. Lannan has never pitched on short rest in his career. ... Brandon Beachy will go for Atlanta on Saturday, making his second start back following Tommy John surgery. ... Cliff Lee, scratched from his last start with a stiff neck, will take the mound Sunday for the Phillies. Wholesale Seattle Seahawks Jerseys .

PULLMAN, Wash. -- Washington State coach Ernie Kent is promising his third season will see an improvement in the Cougars talent level.That would be good news after a forgettable campaign last season that saw Washington State finish 9-22 overall and just 1-17 in the Pac-12.There was lots of roster churn after the season, and this years edition of the Cougars also took a tour of Italy to hone their basketball skills.With the talent level coming in the door, I think people should be pleasantly surprised when they see this team play, Kent said. Much improved shooting, passing and defense.A better team may also help increase the average of 2,800 fans at home games last season.The Cougars have some bright spots.Most notable is Josh Hawkinson, who averaged 15.4 points and 11.1 rebounds per game last season and led the Pac-12 in rebounding and with 20 double-doubles. The 6-foot-10 forward is now a senior and was an All-Pac-12 honorable mention last season.Hawkinson said he must do more to help the team.Ive got to step up more defensively, he said. I can be more of a distributor.Also back is senior guard Ike Iroegbu, who averaged 12.7 points and 3.6 assists, and guard Charles Callison, who recorded 7.9 points and 3 assists per game.Kent promised an up-tempo game last season, but didnt have the athletes to deliver. He believes the six newcomers on the roster are more suited to faster play.This team will be able to score more so we can speed the game up again, Kent said. Theres a different talent level, and a different energy coming in the door that allows us to play at a higher level.ddddddddddddAmong the newcomers is Malachi Flynn, who had 15 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds during WSUs final game in Italy. Freshmen Jeff Pollard, Milan Acquaah and Jamar Ergas are also expected to contribute.Iroegbu said everyone has to contribute this season.It cant just be me and Josh. Iroegbu said. Thats what Italy was for.The Cougars have not made the NCAA Tournament since the 2008 season under former coach Tony Bennett.COACHING CORNER: Kent, the former Oregon coach, led WSU to a 13-18 record, including seven conference wins, in his first season. Last year was quite a drop-off. Washington State did manage to beat No. 25 UCLA at home, then lost 17 games conference game in a row.ECHOES IN BEASLEY: A low-wattage non-conference schedule wont do much to raise attendance at Beasley Coliseum, which averaged 2,800 fans per game last season. No teams from Power 5 conferences are playing a non-conference game in Pullman this year. But fans can see three teams from the Big Sky.QUE CHECKS OUT: Que Johnson, once a highly touted recruit, transferred to Western Kentucky for his senior year, taking his 11.3 points per game with him. Center Valentine Izundo, guard Ny Redding and forward Brett Boese are also gone.THE HAWK: Hawkinson led the team with 33 minutes a game and ranked 11th in the nation in rebounding.
