ATLANTA -- Nathan Eovaldi wanted his first career complete game. He settled for a dominant win. Eovaldi combined with Steve Cishek on an eight-hit shutout, Jeff Mathis homered and drove in three runs, and the Miami Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 7-0 on Sunday to end their six-game losing streak. Ed Lucas had a two-run single and Mathis added a two-run double in the Marlins five-run third inning. Eovaldi (3-5) halted Miamis skid and his personal five-game slide by earning his first win since July 12 against Washington. He gave up seven hits with two walks and six strikeouts in eight innings, his longest start of the season. After throwing 102 pitches through eight innings, Eovaldi was not given the chance to return to the mound for the ninth. "I felt great," he said. "I really wanted to go back out there." Marlins manager Mike Redmond said it was important to give an inning to Cishek, the closer who had pitched only one inning in the last week. "I said, Cmon, Red!" Eovaldi said with a laugh. Cishek worked around a walk and single to get the final three outs. Eovaldi earned his first win in six career starts against Atlanta. He began the day with a 2.79 ERA against the Braves. He threw seven shutout innings, allowing only one hit, but received a no-decision in the Marlins 1-0 win at Atlanta on Aug. 10. Eovaldi said he could relax after his teammates gave him a 7-0 lead. "It was awesome," he said. "We blew it open in the third and I was able to relax, go right after the hitters." Braves rookie Alex Wood (3-3) yielded seven runs in 2 1-3 innings as Atlantas six-game winning streak ended. It was a rare poor outing for Wood, a left-hander who was 2-0 with a 0.90 ERA in five August starts. His overall ERA climbed from 2.27 to 3.15. "Maybe experiencing it this time will help him the next time," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. Wood, making his fourth appearance and second start of the season against the Marlins, didnt agree with the suggestion that Miamis hitters made adjustments to his pitches and delivery. "I dont think it has anything to do with them getting a second look," Wood said. "Ive thrown against some other teams more than once. "Give them credit. They beat me like a drum today." Veteran pitcher Freddy Garcia, called up from Triple-A Gwinnett before the game, replaced Wood in the third. The 36-year-old Garcia threw 4 2-3 scoreless innings, allowing three hits and one walk. "Freddy did a good job saving our bullpen," Gonzalez said. The Braves acquired Garcia from the Orioles on Aug. 23 for cash. "First-place team, youve got to be excited," Garcia said before the game. Gonzalez said Garcia could also be used as a spot starter in the final month of the regular season. Garcia is 155-106 in 16 major league seasons with Seattle, the White Sox, Philadelphia, Detroit, the Yankees and Baltimore. He was 3-5 with a 5.77 ERA in 11 games, including 10 starts, with Baltimore this season. Placido Polancos single drove in Christian Yelich in the first, and Mathis homered with two outs in the second for a 2-0 lead. The Marlins knocked Wood out of the game with five hits in the third. Donovan Solano had a run-scoring single. Miamis Jake Marisnick threw out Paul Janish at the plate in the seventh as Janish attempted to score from second on Jose Constanzas single to centre. NOTES: Braves 3B Chris Johnson was held out of the lineup with what Gonzalez said was "a little leg issue." Johnson had a pinch-hit single in the ninth. ... Marlins OF Chris Coghlan came off the 15-day DL and entered the game in right field in the seventh. Coghlan was placed on the DL on June 9 because of right calf nerve irritation, but a back strain was the more serious injury. ... Miami recalled RHP Chris Hatcher and LHP Zach Phillips from Triple-A New Orleans. ... Miami 1B Logan Morrison said his left knee was fine. He fouled a ball off the knee on Saturday. ... Miami OF Justin Ruggiano did not start due to slight tightness in his calf but was available as a pinch-hitter, according to Redmond. ... RHP Henderson Alvarez will be on the mound when Miami opens a series at the Chicago Cubs on Monday. ... The Braves nine-game homestand continues when LHP Paul Maholm faces Mets RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka on Monday. Nike Free 5.0 Dames . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless."

The Spaniards won 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-3, 6-4 on the outdoor red clay at Caja Magica. After Nadal and Fernando Verdasco won their singles rubbers on Friday, captain Alex Corretja paired the world No. 2 with Lopez to try and prevent the tie from going to reverse singles on Sunday. Nadal, who won his 13th Grand Slam at the U.S. Open on Monday, still looked fresh despite the travel and playing two straight days. Nadal and Lopez broke the Ukrainian duos first two service games to set the tone as they extended Spains unbeaten run on clay to 27 consecutive ties.dddddddddddd "We played at a good level," Nadal said. "In my case, I had a moment I felt tired but later we were able to recover. We achieved our goal and thats the important thing." This was the first time Nadal had played for Spain since December 2011, when he won the decisive point of the final against Argentina to earn Spain its fifth title. Nadals absence was due in part to a knee injury that sidelined him for seven months last season. "Rafas commitment to the team was critical and we have to be grateful for that," Corretja said.
