| | | ATLANTA: ATLANTA (AP) - For the Atlanta Braves, spring training turned into a matter of survival.
No wonder they're so eager to get the season going.
The defending NL East champions lost a big chunk of their starting rotation down in Florida: projected opening day starter Kris Medlen and fellow right-hander Brandon Beachy both underwent Tommy John surgery for the second time and are out for the season. Another starter, Mike Minor, will also begin the year on the disabled list as he recovers from a sore shoulder.
But the Braves are nothing if not resourceful. They quickly signed Ervin Santana to a $14.1 million, one-year contract and have every intention of getting back to the playoffs for the fourth time in the last five years.
''We still have a great team,'' closer Craig Kimbrel said. ''It's tough losing two top pitchers. But getting Santana was really big. I want to be closing out division titles and championships and World Series. I think we've still got the group to do it.''
The Braves will have a different look behind the plate after longtime catcher Brian McCann signed with the New York Yankees. But another title in a lackluster division is certainly a possibility, especially if second baseman Dan Uggla and center fielder B.J. Upton bounce back from dismal seasons in which both hit under .200. They showed signs of turning things around in spring training.
''Time will tell,'' general manager Frank Wren said, ''but we really like what we've seen so far.''
| | CINCINNATI: CINCINNATI (AP) - Bryan Price's father worked for a savings and loan that had San Francisco Giants season tickets and would make some of them available to employees.
Any team was good to see. Two were best.
''So you go in there and battle for tickets to certain games,'' Price said. ''And I would circle the Reds and the Dodgers.''
He loved how the franchises were stocked with stars. He knew it would be fun watching them play his hometown Giants. He even dreamed of some playing or working for one of those teams.
That's why the last six weeks of spring training left him with a too-good-to-be-true feeling at times. He's managing the Reds, one of those teams he loved to see.
''It's almost a constant, surreal experience for me at this point,'' he said in February.
The surreal part gave way to reality pretty fast.
Starter Mat Latos had knee surgery the day spring training opened. Closer Aroldis Chapman got hit in the head by a line drive and is out for at least a month after having a plate put into his forehead. Starter Homer Bailey strained his groin. Relievers Jonathan Broxton and Sean Marshall aren't ready to start the season.

*Braves-Reds Preview* =====================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Atlanta (67-61) at Cincinnati (61-67), 7:10 p.m. EDT
After going unbeaten over the last month-plus, Ervin Santana is on the verge of matching the longest winning streak of his career.
He would appear to have a good chance to do so against the punchless Cincinnati Reds, who are looking to avoid their longest losing streak in five seasons Saturday night.
Santana is 6-0 with a 2.98 ERA over his last seven starts, a stretch during which he's struck out 45 over 45 1-3 innings. The right-hander won seven consecutive decisions with the Angels in his second season in 2006.
Santana (13-6, 3.71) gave up nine hits - including three homers - over 5 1-3 innings but otherwise managed to limit the damage in Monday's 7-3 victory at Pittsburgh. It was an uncharacteristic display for Santana, who had served up two homers in his previous 10 outings.
He should have an easier time keeping the ball in the park against the Reds' anemic offense. Cincinnati (61-68) is hitting .198 and slugging .310 during a seven-game skid after falling 3-1 in 12 innings Friday for its 12th defeat in 14 games.
Mike Minor held the Reds hitless until Billy Hamilton singled home Zack Cozart with two outs in the eighth inning. Hamilton finished 2 for 4 and the rest of the team was 0 for 34.
"We're all working hard," said Hamilton, who matched a season best with three stolen bases. "It's just happening the way it's happening."
The Reds haven't dropped eight in a row since July 28-Aug. 4, 2009. Jay Bruce and Ryan Ludwick are a combined 14 for their last 78 while Brandon Phillips is 3 for 20 since coming off the disabled list Monday.
"It's discouraging, frustrating - whatever word you want to use," manager Bryan Price said.
Atlanta (68-61) is seeking an eighth win in nine games thanks to Justin Upton's tiebreaking two-run homer. The slugging left fielder finished a double shy of the cycle and is batting .413 with five homers and 20 RBIs during a 13-game hitting streak.
"Right now, we're hot," catcher Gerald Laird said. "Our guys are swinging the bat well. The big boys are driving in some clutch runs that we need."
Upton has hit safely in seven straight against the Reds, going 15 for 27 while slugging 1.037. Atlanta has taken all five games against Cincinnati this year by a combined 21-6 score.
The Braves will try to stay hot against Mike Leake, who is 0-2 with a 5.21 ERA in his last three starts. The right-hander yielded four runs over seven innings in Monday's 6-5, 10-inning loss at St. Louis.
Leake (9-11, 3.65) has also surrendered four runs over seven innings in each of his last two matchups against the Braves, losing both. He gave up homers to Upton, Freddie Freeman and Evan Gattis - the most he's allowed this season - in a 4-1 defeat at Atlanta on April 26.
Upton is 6 for 11 against Leake, but Freeman and Jason Heyward are a combined 1 for 21.
Santana allowed four runs over 6 2-3 innings in his only appearance against the Reds, a 5-4 victory April 25.
