NEW YORK -- Atlanta Braves pitchers have always had a knack for being good at the plate, as well as on the mound. Mike Minor is the newest member of the club as he showed off his arm and his bat Thursday night in a 6-1 win over the New York Mets. "It was fun to have a night like this hitting and pitching," he said. Minor (6-8) had an RBI single in the second for the games first run. He doubled and scored in the eighth, then took a two-hit shutout into the bottom half. "At one point of the game he was everything," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He pitched well, drove in a run, (had) a double. He was not only pitching well, he was our offence for six innings." Minor was perfect for four innings before Lucas Duda led off the fifth with a single that just barely touched the glove of leaping shortstop Andrelton Simmons. "Today I thought his curveball was probably his best pitch, other than commanding his fastball," Gonzalez said. "He had a nice mix going and good for him. Young man earlier in the year had some tough luck and I think hes progressing in the right direction." In his previous start, Minor took a no-hit bid into the eighth inning against Cincinnati. Before that, Minor had given up three earned runs or more in nine of his previous eleven starts. "Any day you face the Braves youre going to face a pretty good pitcher," Mets third baseman David Wright said. "He threw a lot of fastballs -- some were straight, some cut and some sank. His fastball command was excellent." Wright was 0 for 4 in his return to the lineup after missing two games with a muscle spasm on the right side of his neck. Minor gave up four hits, struck out five and walked none. The Mets did not have a runner in scoring position until Travis dArnaud opened the eighth with a double. Eric Campbell followed with an RBI single, ending Minors night. Jonathon Niese (7-10) only allowed one run until Minor and the Citi Field wind helped Atlanta score twice in the eighth. Minor led off the eighth with his fifth career double, a ball that the wind carried over the head of right fielder Curtis Granderson. Emilio Bonifacio hit a triple to centre field that was also helped by the wind, and scored on Freddie Freemans single. Pinch-hitter Ryan Doumit had a two-run, wind-aided, homer onto the bridge beyond the wall in right-centre field in a three-run ninth. Doumit connected off Daisuke Matsuzaka, who came off the disabled list before the game. Bonifacio also had a run-scoring single for his fourth hit. He drove in two runs and stole a base.

Thats a lofty goal considering Wallace has yet to catch a pass in the exhibition season. He missed the Dolphins first game with a groin injury, and quarterback Ryan Tannehill never looked his way during their brief time on the field in Fridays victory at Jacksonville. Wallace, who totalled 32 touchdown catches in four years at Pittsburgh, was signed as a free agent in March to upgrade Miamis mediocre passing game. "I want to lead the league in everything I possibly can," he said Monday. "If you plan for anything other than that, youre settling. I want to be the best. Im not out here to be the second-best or third-best. I want to be the best player in the league. There are some great guys to try and catch, so I have a big-time challenge ahead of me, but Im up for it. Thats why Im here." Even though he has yet to caatch a pass in a game for the Dolphins, he said hes meshing well with Tannehill.dddddddddddd "Ryan and I are feeling good about each other," Wallace said. "Youre not going to see too much frustration out of me. I feel like Im doing a great job of working on getting to my spots and learning the offence. As long as I know where Im going and can play fast, Ill be fine." Last week Wallace said hes the fastest player in the NFL, and he looked the part when Tannehill hit him deep for a touchdown during seven-on-seven drills in practice Monday. "When you have a guy with that type of speed, it is exciting to throw the ball downfield," Tannehill said. "Its not going to be five touchdowns a game; I think thats what everyone kind of seems to be hinting at. But we are going to get him the ball. Hes going to get open short and deep. There is no need to panic or push to try to force him the ball. It is going to happen." ' ' '
