PHILADELPHIA -- Another gem by Phillies starter Cole Hamels was nearly wasted again. Darin Ruf hit a solo homer in the eighth to break a 2-2 tie and lifted the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-2 victory Sunday and three-game sweep over the Atlanta Braves. "It was a good sign for Darin to go right-centre like that," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "He seems to get a lot of pitches away. Its a good sign he stayed on that one, and it was a big moment. Thats what he needs to continue to do." Hamels (7-13) made just two mistakes Sunday -- two long homers off the bat of Evan Gattis -- and they nearly cost him the win. Gattis first home run, in the second inning, travelled 480 feet to centre field. In the seventh, he tied the game with a long ball that went deep into the left-field bleachers. It was his first career multi-homer game. "Hes strong," Hamels said. "He swung with everything he had in him. I felt like I was throwing a golf ball out there and he had a driver." They were the only two hits Hamels allowed over eight innings. He struck out nine, walked two and retired the side in order four times. "He was outstanding," Sandberg said. "Its about time he got a late-inning run to get the W." Gattis almost had another home run in the fifth inning, but it died at the warning track in dead centre field with a strong wind blowing in. "I guess if the 50 mile-an-hour winds didnt keep it in play, it definitely wouldve went off the wall," Hamels said. "Or through it." B.J. Rosenberg earned his first career save with a perfect ninth inning. "He took it and ran with it," Sandberg said. "He earned the spot there today, came through big time with great stuff, pounded the strike zone with strikes." David Carpenter (3-1) took the loss for allowing Rufs homer in the eighth. Chase Utley doubled and Ruf singled to knock in the Phillies first two runs in the first inning. Utley and Ruf both finished with two hits apiece. Braves starter Paul Maholm went six innings and allowed two runs on seven hits, three walks and a hit batter. He struck out five and stranded seven Phillies baserunners. "He gave us a great opportunity to win the game," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We only had two hits. We didnt do much offensively to the whole series." Two baserunning blunders by Cesar Hernandez may have cost the Phillies extra runs. He was picked off in the first inning and thrown out by Joey Terdoslavich attempting to go first to third in the fifth inning. Philadelphia squandered a chance for more runs in the sixth. After the first two men reached base via a walk and an error, Freddy Galvis grounded into a double play and Hamels struck out. B.J. Upton, who went 0 for 4, finished the series 0 for 12 with seven strikeouts. B.J. and Justin Upton are hitless in their last 32 at-bats combined. "They pitched well all three games," B.J. Upton said. "We were in all three games, it just didnt work out. ... Were fine. Well come back to play tomorrow." The Braves had just 10 hits in the series. The Phillies are 11-2 in their last 13 one-run games. "Its great to just play well in all facets of the game, pitching, defence, swinging the bats well this series too," Ruf said. "It was nice just to see what we can do when all phases of the game are clicking for us." NOTES: Atlanta LHP Scott Downs is considered day-to-day with a non-displaced fracture to the tip of his right ring finger. Down left Saturdays game after being hit on his glove hand with a line drive. ... Cole Hamels has gone at least five innings in 72 consecutive starts, the longest active streak in the majors. ... Braves OF Justin Upton, hitless in 16 at-bats entering Sunday, did not start. He entered as a pinch hitter in the eighth and struck out. ... Atlanta, which owns baseballs best home record at 51-20, is just 34-37 on the road. ... Philadelphia resumes its homestand Tuesday against the Padres with Roy Halladay (3-4, 7.19) on the mound. ... Atlanta heads Monday to Miami, where Kris Medlen (12-12, 3.48) will take the hill. Sean Couturier Jersey .C. -- J.B.

Vonn remains in the United States after aggravating her surgically repaired right knee at a downhill race in Val dIsere, France, on Dec. 21. "Shes recovering and preparing and everything is (up) in the air," U.S. Ski Team womens head coach Alex Hoedlmoser told The Associated Press on Saturday, adding that Vonn will "most likely not" race in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, Austria, next weekend. The next speed races after Altenmarkt are on one of Vonns favourite courses over Jan. 18-19 in Cortina dAmpezzo, Italy, where she has won seven times. "Right now its a total open book," Hoedlmoser said. "We dont know. It totally depends on how she recovers, how the knee feels, if she gets the strength back, the stability in the knee." Vonn needed surgery in February to reconstruct two knee ligaments after a crash at the world championships, and partially re-tore one of them in November. She returned to the World Cup in Lake Louise, Alberta, in the first week of December and finished 40th and 11th inn two downhills before placing fifth in super-G the next day.dddddddddddd But a loss of balance in Val dIsere left her clutching her knee in another setback. Hoedlmoser said Vonn has not trained on snow since the Val dIsere incident. She is training in the gym and being checked by the teams medical staff and her personal trainers from Red Bull. Hoedlmoser last spoke to Vonn on Thursday. He has already brought up the possibility that Vonn might not race again before Sochi, and he said he would have no problem putting her on the Olympic team even if she hasnt competed for six weeks by the time of the Feb. 7 opening ceremony. "Well, its Lindsey Vonn," he said. "She doesnt have to prove anything to anybody. So if shes ready to go were going to bring her. And if shes not then not. "We would like to see her get a couple more races in but the injury she has, shes always taking some risks doing that. And (if she has) another setback then she might not be able to do the Olympics." Vonn has already sat out technical races in Lienz, Austria, and will also miss Sundays slalom in Bormio. Vonn hopes to defend her Olympic downhill title on Feb. 12, and would also be a top contender in the Sochi super-G three days later. ' ' '
