    It seems the Atlanta Braves can do no wrong, and Brandon Beachy couldn't be happier.

    Beachy, making his third start since coming back from major elbow surgery, won for the first time in nearly 15 months.

    As for his team, the Braves are surging and have won 14 straight games to seemingly take all the suspense out of the NL East race.

    "It makes pitching a little easier when those guys work their tails off and put five (runs) up there for me early," Beachy said. "I don't have to be fine. I can go right at guys, and I tip my cap to them. Glad they're on my team."

    Justin Upton, Chris Johnson and Brian McCann homered and Beachy pitched eight strong innings to help Atlanta beat the Miami Marlins 5-0 Friday night.
