MIAMI -- Matt Kemps September slugging wont get the Atlanta Braves into the postseason. Its a nice sign heading into 2017, though.Kemp hit two home runs to power the Braves to a 6-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Thursday night.Hes a really good player, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said. Hes a big, strong man and when he swings that bat it goes.Kemp is hitting .400 (22 of 55) in his last 14 games and has 33 home runs and 104 RBI on the season, his highest totals since the 2011 season when he was NL MVP runner-up with 39 homers and 126 RBI.Its been good, Kemp said. Honestly I wish we could be in the playoffs right now and in a playoff race. It would be way more fun doing those type of things and being in a race, but for us to finish strong and show everybody what the offense and what this team is capable of going into the final weeks of the season is very important for next year.Freddie Freeman singled in the third inning to extend his hitting streak to 26 games and drove in two runs for the Braves, who have won six straight for the third time this season.The whole roster is helping the pretty good week that weve had, Snitker said. Just playing with a lot of enthusiasm and energy. Were down to nine games left in the season and theyre getting after it. Theyre playing like were trying to grab a wild card.Atlantas Josh Collmenter (3-0) pitched seven innings and allowed two runs.Im not going to blow it by a lot of guys, Collmenter said. Im not going to strike them out. Its using my defense to my advantage and keep them off-balanced and uncomfortable in the batters box as much as I possibly can.Mauricio Cabrera pitched the ninth for his fifth save in six chances.Ender Inciarte, Wednesdays hero with the game-saving catch at the New York Mets, went 2 for 4 with a triple and scored twice.J.T. Realmuto homered for the Marlins, who cut the deficit to 6-3 on an RBI double by Martin Prado in the eighth. Justin Bour flew out with two on to end the threat.Kemps multihomer game was the 10th of his career and third this season.Kemps second homer was a solo shot to left field in the sixth. It was caught on a bounce by Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow , who also threw out the ceremonial first pitch.Who comes to his first baseball game in Miami and catches a baseball? Kemp said. Thats pretty cool.Freemans streak is the longest of his career and the longest active streak in the majors. It is the fifth-longest for the Braves since moving to Atlanta in 1966. Freeman has also reached base in 42 consecutive games.Freemans two-run triple and Kemps two-run homer broke the game open in the third, giving the Braves a 5-0 lead.You get down early its tough on your club, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. To be down five after a couple innings puts you in a bind.Marlins starter Jose Urena (4-8) allowed five runs and four hits in three innings.Ive been leaving the ball a little high when Ive been down in the count, Urena said.INCIARTES CATCHInciartes impressive catch in Wednesdays 4-3 win at the New York Mets is the highlight of his potential Gold Glove-winning season.If that dont win him a Gold Glove, I dont know what will, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said. Ive been saying it all along, hes unbelievable.In addition to his impressive defensive plays in center field, Inciarte is also one of the hottest hitters in baseball since the All-Star break with a major league-leading 94 hits.Hes kind of burst onto the scene here and everybody is aware of him now and rightfully so, Snitker said. Hes as good as it gets.NEXT UPBraves: RHP Matt Wisler (7-12, 4.93 ERA) will start Fridays game at Miami.

Hesjedals Garmin-Sharp team revealed Tuesday that the Victoria native developed an upper respiratory tract infection during the race, which he won in 2012. He has returned to his home in Girona, Spain since pulling out on Friday. The team said Hesjedal entered the race in very good physical form, but was still vulnerable to illness. His effort in the Stage-8 time trial, combined with further efforts in rainy and cold conditions, stressed his immune system and made him susceptible to contracting the infection. He completed the ninth and 10th stages, but his suffering continued and he pulled out before the 11th stage. At the time, he sat in 38th place overall, more than 32 minutes behind the leader. The team said it was virtually impossible for him to continue competing, because the condition would have worsened. "It appears that Ryder had been exposed to the virus affecting many in the peloton during the first week of racing," said team physician Phil Stawski in a news release. "Secondary to his outstanding form and conditioning, the more typical symptoms did not manifest until later. However, the effect on hiis body and performance was already occurring.dddddddddddd "His effort during the (time trial) and in the cold and wet conditions continued to impact his bodys ability to fight the infection, and he ultimately succumbed. The only option to prevent the worsening of his condition was to stop racing and allow him to recover." Hesjedal is expected to be able to resume training in about a week. He plans to compete in Switzerlands Tour de Suisse, to be held June 8-16. "Its hard to watch the Giro from home and not be there with my team. ... (But) The teams been great with helping me," said Hesjedal in the news release. "I appreciate all the support. I look forward to getting back on the road and racing again at Suisse, and will take it day by day from there." Jonathan Vaughters, the Garmin-Sharp teams CEO, said the crew is looking forward to getting Hesjedal recovered, healthy and back on the road racing again. "He was in great condition before the Giro, and while its a shame that he got so sick, were glad he is starting to come around," said Vaughters. "Our team staff will continue to work closely with him to get him healthy again. Thats priority number one, but well all be glad to get him back to racing." ' ' '
