ATLANTA -- The All-Star break did little to help the Atlanta Braves get their season turned around.We had a guys on base, a hit away from getting back in it, interim manager Brian Snitker said. They always are. A couple of the fielding plays that led to those runs hurt more than anything. The grand slam in the ninth didnt help either, obviously.The Braves gave up four runs in the third inning and pinch-hitter Ryan Raburn capped a big offensive performance for the Colorado Rockies with a ninth-inning grand slam in Atlantas 11-2 loss on Friday night.After averaging 2.7 runs in its last seven road games at San Francisco and the Los Angeles Dodgers, Colorado took advantage of baseballs worst team.Dropping to 13-35 at home and 31-59 overall, the Braves rank last in the majors in runs scored and homers. They put some poor pitching and fielding on display, too.Atlantas sixth pitcher, Dario Alvarez, gave up Raburns fourth career grand slam -- his third pinch-hit homer this season.Colorado went up 1-0 in the first on Carlos Gonzalezs RBI single and took a 5-0 lead in the third thanks to pitcher Lucas Harrells two-base throwing error.After Nolan Arenados RBI single, Harrell threw wildly to shallow right field on Trevor Storys soft infield single, allowing Arenado to score from second and Gonzalez from first. Story scored on Daniel Descalsos sacrifice fly.I just pulled it across my body a little bit and made a bad throw, Harrell said. I probably shouldve held it or maybe looked to the guy going home. I didnt really check to see where he was at. It was just a mistake, and next time that wont happen.Colorado took a 7-0 lead in the fourth when D.J. LeMahieu had an RBI triple and scored on a wild pitch. Harrell was chased when Arenado reached on an infield single.Harrell (1-1) allowed seven hits and seven runs -- five earned -- in 3 2/3 innings. He walked three and struck out four in his third start for Atlanta.He didnt have his location tonight, Snitker said. The one thing hes been doing is just pounding the strike zone, and he got behind guys tonight. Just wasnt as sharp. He was just off tonight. It happens.Jorge De La Rosa (6-6) snapped a two-start skid, allowing eight hits, two runs and three walks in six innings. He struck out two.The Braves made it 7-1 in the fifth on pinch-hitter Brandon Snyders RBI double. Jeff Francoeurs RBI single cut the lead to 7-2 in the sixth.Dating to last season, the Rockies have won three straight at Turner Field for the first time since they had five straight victories from Sept. 12, 1997-April 26, 1998.THE CLOSEST CALLBraves 1B Freddie Freeman was in the lineup after having a cancerous mole surgically removed from his upper back three days ago.Freeman received test results Friday that abnormal cells were present, but he said hes cancer-free following the procedure. The Atlanta fan favorite and two-time All-Star said he regularly gets checkups after his mother, Rosemary Freeman, died of skin cancer in 2000 when her son was 9.NO GUARANTEESSuspended Atlanta OF Hector Olivera started a minor league rehab assignment, but has no guarantees he will return to the Atlanta Braves after his arrest on domestic violence charges.Braves president of baseball operations John Hart said Olivera will play four or five days for the teams Gulf Coast League affiliate before reporting to Triple-A Gwinnett next week.Olivera is eligible to return to the majors on Aug. 2, but the Braves have no timetables in place.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: OF Gerardo Parra, on the disabled list since June 17 with a high ankle sprain, ran the bases, but Weiss had no update regarding a rehab assignment.Braves: RHP Arodys Vizcaino hurt his side after throwing three pitches in the ninth inning and had to leave the game.

Xherdan Shaqiri Liverpool Jersey . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama.Welcome to the final Power Rankings for October. Next week, Pierre LeBrun takes over the rankings reins, which is a little like waking up to find that the extras from The Walking Dead are in charge of the operation. So enjoy the last semblance of order and logic to the weekly listings, where I once again give a nod to elite teams north of the border and a guy named Sidney Crosby, and send my heartfelt good thoughts to Craig Anderson and his family.?1. (Last week: 1)?Montreal Canadiens, 8-0-1The Habs continue to roll, racking up their seventh consecutive win Saturday against Toronto. They are the only team in the NHL without a regulation loss and Shea Weber has been a force, leading Montreal with 10 points. Three of Webers four goals have been game winners. Never mind the Norris Trophy -- Weber for MVP, anyone?2. (2) Edmonton Oilers, 7-2-0The Oilers continue to make magic with impressive play on both sides of the puck -- in spite of their 2-0 defeat at home against Ottawa on Sunday. Connor McDavid remains the leagues top scorer, and the Oilers have the Western Conferences second-best goal differential, at plus-10.3. (19)?Minnesota Wild, 6-2-1The Wild have made immediate improvement under head coach Bruce Boudreau, including winning three in a row, all courtesy of Devan Dubnyk shutouts. Minnesota owns a Western Conference-best plus-13 goal differential, not to mention the leagues best penalty-killing unit. The loss of Zach Parise, who is week-to-week with a lower-body injury, is a major one, though.4. (10)?Pittsburgh Penguins, 6-2-1I guess Crosby is OK. The Pittsburgh captain has lit it up since returning to action following a concussion. He has four goals and an assist in three games -- all wins for the Penguins.5. (16) San Jose Sharks, 6-3-0The Sharks have won three in a row, reaffirming that they are the team to beat in the Pacific Division. Last season they were the masters of the road win. This season, they are 4-0 at the Shark Tank. Captain Joe Pavelski?is second in the NHL in scoring with 11 points.6. (4) St. Louis Blues, 5-2-2The Blues keep rolling along, with points in four of their past six games. St. Louis offense has gone a bit dry, but its all about the points. Good on the Blues for retiring the number of Bob Plager, a Day 1 member of the organization. Classy move.7. (6) Washington Capitals, 5-2-1Washingtons offense hasnt exactly been Capitals-like in the early going, but allowing two goals per game is very much what we expect from Braden Holtby and his crew. And the Caps have won two in a row.8. (8) New York Rangers, 6-3-0A nice bounce-back effort from the Rangers, who were dumped by Carolina in Raleigh on Friday night but then whipped Tampa Bay 6-1 two nights later at Madison Square Garden. New York has great balance up front and continues to give little away defensively.9. (21) New Jersey Devils, 4-2-2The Devils are quietly making their presence known in the Metropolitan Division, including a big win over Tampa. New Jersey allows two goals per game on average, tied for second fewest in the NHL.10. (14) Ottawa Senators, 5-3-0Our thoughts go out to Sens netminder Craig Anderson and his wife, Nicholle, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. Anderson had left the team last Thursday but rejoined the Sens with Nicholles blessing after Andersons backup Andrew Hammond was injured --?and pitched a 37-save shutout against Edmonton.11. (5) Detroit Red Wings, 6-4-0The Red Wings saw their six-game win streak come to an end on Saturday in a 1-0 loss to Boston and then followed that up with a 5-2 whipping at the hands of the Florida Panthers. Its been feast or famine for the boys from the Motor City.12. (3) Tampa Bay Lightning, 5-4-0The Lightning have stumbled on the road, losing to Montreal, New Jersey and then to the Rangers 6-1. As head coach Jon Cooper keeps saying, you cant fall behind every night and have success.13. (13) Chicago Blackhawks, 5-3-1Captain Jonathan Toews got his first goal of the season (no, thats not a misprint), and the Blackhawks won their second in a row with a nice 3-0 effort against Los Angeles Sunday. Corey Crawford?has been holding the fort as the Blackhawks work out early-season kiinks.dddddddddddd4. (11) Colorado Avalanche, 4-3-0The Avs have played five of seven on the road and have showed resilience in cobbling together a winning record.15. (17) Columbus Blue Jackets, 3-3-1The Blue Jackets are showing backbone, rebounding from an 0-2 start. Zach Werenski, 19, has been a revelation on the blue line, with two goals and four assists in seven games.16.(7) Florida Panthers, 4-4-1The defending Atlantic Division champions are off to a disappointing start, although they arrested a three-game losing streak on Sunday with an emphatic win over red-hot Detroit.17. (26) Los Angeles Kings, 4-5-0The Kings dropped their second in a row and were shut out for the second time in two nights -- this time by Chicago -- as L.A. dropped to 29th in goals scored per game.18. (22) Buffalo Sabres, 3-3-2Kyle Okposo led the way as Buffalo came up with back-to-back key victories after a four-game winless stretch.19. (25) Winnipeg Jets, 4-5-0The Jets two-game winning streak ended on Sunday with a disappointing 3-1 home loss to the struggling Sabres. Traction is apparently not in the Jets handbook.20. (30) Calgary Flames, 4-5-1The Flames are still not out of the woods, as their 3-1 loss to Washington at home Sunday reiterated. Calgary is a dismal 2-4-0 at home and is still giving up way too much to opposing teams. It ranks 25th in goals allowed per game, even with improved play from starting goalie?Brian Elliott.21. (18) Dallas Stars, 3-4-1The defending Central Division champions are banged up, and their offense is sputtering early on, as evidenced by their desultory start to the season.22. (12) Boston Bruins, 4-4-0The Bruins came up with huge win over Detroit on Saturday with Tuukka Rask back in the fold, but their offense is in neutral and their power play ranks dead last in the NHL. That needs to change if Boston is going to be anything more than a one-step-up, one-step-back kind of team.23. (15) Philadelphia Flyers, 4-5-1The Flyers are giving up almost four goals a game, ranking them 29th, but they keep bouncing back, as they did on Sunday with a nice win over Carolina.24. (24) Anaheim Ducks, 3-4-2Anaheim finally has its roster issues resolved with the signing of Hampus Lindholm, although itll be a week or so before he finally suits up for the up-and-down Ducks. Will it help them finally get on track?25. (23) New York Islanders, 4-5-0The Islanders came up with a nice win at home Sunday, but problems still persist. Newcomer Andrew Ladd has just one assist after signing a seven-year deal in the offseason, and now there is controversy over New Yorks three-goalie conundrum. Is Jaroslav Halak?on his way out?26. (9) Vancouver Canucks, 4-4-1Water finds its own level as the Canucks have lost four straight after a torrid start. Theyve been outscored 14-4 during their current slide -- allowing most of the leagues prognosticators, who had Vancouver at or near the bottom of league standings -- to heave a sigh of relief.27. (28) Carolina Hurricanes, 2-4-2An early, road-heavy schedule has not been kind to the Hurricanes, who were dumped Sunday by Philadelphia and who have yet to win two in a row thus far -- which explains their place at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings.28. (20) Nashville Predators, 2-5-1Did we all overestimate just how good the Predators are? Its hard to argue that we didnt, as the Preds are just 0-4-1 on the road, and their offense is in pop-gun mode with just 19 goals in eight games. Nashville is tied for the worst goal differential in the league.29. (27)?Toronto Maple Leafs, 2-4-3The Leafs -- who got waxed 5-1 by the Islanders Sunday -- are following a familiar pattern of (a) not winning (their two victories are tied for the lowest total in the NHL) and (b) giving up tons of goals (they rank 28th in goals allowed per game).30. (29) Arizona Coyotes, 2-6-0The Coyotes, who couldnt build on a rare win over Philadelphia and fell to Colorado on Saturday, are 1-5 on the road and their minus-9 goal differential is tied for the worst in the league with Nashville and Toronto.
