ATLANTA -- Craig Kimbrel found ninth-inning drama before a big stretch by Freddie Freeman saved the night for the Braves. Justin Upton hit a three-run homer to continue another strong April, Ervin Santana earned his third win and the Atlanta Braves held off the Cincinnati Reds 5-4 on Friday night. Kimbrel gave up a leadoff single to Roger Bernadina and walked Zack Cozart to open the ninth. Kimbrel struck out Brayan Pena and Chris Heisey before earning his seventh save on Joey Vottos groundout. Freeman made a long stretch at first base for Chris Johnsons throw from third base on Heiseys groundball. Reds manager Bryan Price challenged first base umpire Vic Carapazzas ruling that Freemans foot remained on the bag. The call was confirmed, ending the game. "Freddie did a terrific job staying on the bag," said Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez. He acknowledged he was nervous about the challenge before seeing the replay on the video board "and I felt kind of relaxed." Price said that when looking across the field he thought he saw "a huge gap" between Freemans foot and the bag. He said he agreed with the confirmed out call after seeing the replay. "I had a chance to come up here and look at our own video, which is what theyre getting in New York, and it was a confirmed out call," Price said. "They got the call right in the end, which is what were looking for." Two Cincinnati players left the game with injuries. Third baseman Todd Frazier was pulled in the fifth with tightness in his left leg. Catcher Devin Mesoraco strained his left hamstring and stumbled after rounding third base in the seventh, before limping across home plate. Price said he was protecting Frazier, who had previous tightness in his groin. Santana (3-0) gave up four runs on nine hits in 6 2-3 innings. Following singles by B.J. Upton and Freddie Freeman off Homer Bailey (1-2) in the first inning, Justin Upton hit his team-leading sixth homer. He leads the team with 15 RBIs. "Weve seen him do this before and carry us for a while," Gonzalez said. In 2013, Justin Upton led the majors with 12 homers in April, becoming the fastest player in Braves franchise history to reach the mark. He has hit 35 homers in April for his career, his highest total for any month. "Im just getting it going," said Upton, who is hitting .296 and leads the team with 15 RBIs. Freeman had three hits for Atlanta to shake a mini-slump. B.J. Upton, who was hitting .205, had one hit in his first game wearing prescription glasses. "Well see how the glasses work and if Ill keep them," he said. "I could see the ball better on both sides of the plate. It was good tonight." Bailey allowed five runs on nine hits in six innings. He allowed at least four earned runs for the fourth time in five starts this season and has a 6.15 ERA. The Braves increased their lead to 4-0 in the second on Jason Heywards RBI single. Evan Gattis drove in a run in the third for a 5-0 lead. Jay Bruce had a run-scoring single in the Reds two-run sixth. Cincinnati added two more in the seventh, knocking Santana out of the game. Mesoraco scored on Billy Hamiltons double. Votto had a run-scoring single off Luis Avilan. A strong defensive play by right fielder Jason Heyward helped Santana in the first inning. Votto doubled with one out in the first and moved to third on Phillips bloop single. Votto was thrown out at the plate on a strong throw by Heyward on Jay Bruces fly ball. Votto, sliding head-first, was tagged out in the batters box and never reached the plate. NOTES: Price said closer Aroldis Chapman, recovering from facial fractures and a mild concussion when hit by a line drive on March 19, will throw 35 to 40 pitches in batting practice on Saturday. If it goes well, it should be Chapmans final test before he is cleared for a minor league rehab assignment. ...

After finishing a promising third on her Ascot debut at the start of the month, the daughter of Dubawi raised her game to win the Listed Height Of Fashion Stakes at Goodwood, a race won by the brilliant Snow Fairy before she secured Oaks glory six years ago.Appleby said: She had a quiet week after Goodwood, as we said she would, and shes in good form. She did a routine piece of work this morning and we were very happy with her, so she will be supplemented for the Oaks.Shes a nice filly, shes done nothing wrong and if we can run into a place Ill be delighted.Skiffle was the only supplementary entry and is among 11 possibles for the fillies Classic following the confirmation stage.They are headed by Qipco 1000 Guineas winner Minding. Runner-up in last weekends Irish 1,000 Guineas, she is one of five remaining entries from the Aidan OBrien stable despite the absence of Ballydoyle.OBrien can also call on Even Song, How High The Moon, Seventh Heaven and Somehow.There is another potential Irish challenger in Jim Bolgers Turret Rocks, who was sixth behind Minding at Newmarket.The list is completed by Hugo Palmers Architecture, the Ralph Beckett-trained Diamonds Pour Moi, Harlequeen from Mick Channons stable and Australian Queen who David Elsworth is hoping can cause an upset.The Newmarket handlers last runner in the Epsom Downs Classic, Something Exciting, finished second to Eswarah in 2005, while he also sent out Mighty Flutter to be third at odds of 66/1 in the 1984 Derby.Australian Queen, a Lingfield Park maiden winner in February, has made two appearances on turf, coming home eighth in the Pretty Polly Stakes at Newmarket on May 1 and fifth, one place behind Harlequeen in the Group Two Musidora Stakes at York 11 days later.Elsworth commented: I thought Australian Queen ran well in the Musidora Stakes. It was only her second start on turf and she is mentally a big, backward filly - she is a slow learner.So Mi Dar won by four lengths that day andd we were just over five lengths further back.dddddddddddd She fell out of the stalls and got involved coming up the straight. She will come on a ton for that, but she needs to. Something Exciting was a lot more precocious whereas this filly was very backward. We ran Australian Queen on the All-Weather to teach her to race and she didnt handle the bend when she won at Lingfield Park - she nearly went over to the jumps course.In the Pretty Polly Stakes, we dropped her in and they didnt go a great gallop. She travelled well for most of the race but was found wanting when they kicked for home because she wasnt switched on mentally.She is a good filly, who is improving rapidly, and there is only one Oaks, so we are going to give it a go.Elsworth and owner Jeff Smith are also set to be represented at the Investec Derby Festival by Australians Queen illustrious half-sister Arabian Queen, who is due to run in the Group One Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Cup (Sponsored by Investec) on Investec Derby Day.The four-year-old filly beat last years Investec Derby hero Golden Horn when a 50/1 chance in the Group One Juddmonte International at York in August and went down by a length to Usherette on her seasonal return in the Group Two Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket on May 1.Elsworth added: I thought Arabian Queen ran a storming race in the Dahlia Stakes.We felt that she might improve 7lb to 10lb for the race but she ran so well that I am not sure if she can improve that much!She goes round Epsom, having won the Princess Elizabeth Stakes there last year, and Postponed will frighten a few off. Its an encounter that we are looking forward to. Sky Racing Tickets Fast, secure racing tickets: Exclusive racing offers near you Also See: Live results service Full racecards Get Sky Sports ' ' '
