ATLANTA -- Lloyd McClendons unusual lineup left the Seattle manager answering questions about his teams scoring potential. Jamal Crawford Jersey . As it turned out, Hisashi Iwakuma and the Mariners stingy bullpen didnt need much offence. Iwakuma combined with two relievers on a six-hit shutout and the streaking Mariners beat the Atlanta Braves 2-0 on Wednesday to complete a two-game sweep. Cole Gillespie and Kyle Seager hit run-scoring singles. Seattle has won five straight, matching its longest winning streak of the season. Perhaps the most puzzling piece of the lineup was Stefen Romero, who hit cleanup for the first time this season. "Somebody has got to hit there," McClendon said before the game. "I dont have Bonds, so its going to be Romero." Romero, who hit a pinch-hit homer in Tuesday nights 7-5 win over the Braves, took a .204 batting average into the game. He came through with two hits, including a triple, and scored a run. Willie Bloomquist had a single and a walk as he started at first base for the first time in four years and hit leadoff for only the second time this year. Iwakuma overcame an early start -- 9:10 a.m. in Seattle -- and Atlantas heat to dominate the Braves. The first-pitch temperature was 84 degrees. Iwakuma (4-2) gave up only six hits with seven strikeouts and no walks in seven innings. The right-hander was sharp, throwing 71 of his 96 pitches for strikes. "I knew I needed to focus more than regular games because of the heat," Iwakuma said through a translator. "I was just trying to focus and get quick outs to go deeper in the game and thats what I was able to do." Mike Minor (2-4) allowed only one run in seven innings, but the Braves fell to 0-6 in interleague games. Yoervis Medina pitched a perfect eighth before Fernando Rodney earned his 16th save with three straight outs in the ninth. Seattle relievers threw eight scoreless innings in the two-game sweep. The Braves were held scoreless in the final seven innings of Tuesday nights loss. The streak of consecutive scoreless innings reached 16 on Wednesday. "We had a tough time figuring out their starter," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "The guys only throwing 87, 88 miles an hour but he sure looked like he was throwing a lot harder. I know he had movement and some deception but we didnt square up too many balls against him. He was pretty darn good." Iwakuma, a 2013 All-Star, gave up a combined nine runs in back-to-back losses to Houston and Detroit before returning to form against the Braves. "He was much better getting the ball down in the zone," Seattle catcher Mike Zunino said. "We wanted to make an emphasis on keeping the ball down and he was. He was able to get to that bottom shelf and stay there for the majority of the game and just mix all his pitches." Gillespies RBI single in the fourth gave Seattle a 1-0 lead that held until the eighth, when Romero tripled off Luis Avilan. Pinch-runner James Jones scored on Seagers single to right field. Minor allowed only five hits and one run in seven innings. He matched his season high with 10 strikeouts. Freddie Freeman had three strikeouts against Iwakuma and finished 0-for-4. Gonzalez unsuccessfully challenged first-base umpire Will Littles ninth-inning call that Justin Upton was out at first base on the throw from shortstop Brad Miller. The review lasted only 40 seconds. NOTES: Seattle also won five straight from May 3-7. ... Bloomquists last start at first base came in 2010 with Kansas City. The versatile Bloomquist also has started at second base, third base, shortstop, left field and right field this season, and he is the emergency catcher. ... Seattle players wore T-shirts honouring athletic trainer Rick Griffins 5,000th regular-season game. He joined the team in 1983. ... The Braves and Mariners are off on Thursday. The Braves open a weekend series at Arizona on Friday, when RHP Julio Teheran faces RHP Brandon McCarthy. Seattles east coast swing shifts to Tampa Bay, when Mariners RHP Chris Young will face LHP Erik Bedard. Gorgui Dieng Jersey . First, the Red Wings scored the tying goal after officials missed the puck hitting the protective netting, then the Kings wound up losing in a shootout. That could affect playoff positioning in the Eastern and Western Conferences, and thats a concern for everyone. Andrew Wiggins Jersey . Better still, its in the same team and there are 13 races left for it to develop. http://www.basketballtimberwolvesshop.com/Customized/ . But that changed when he committed a five-minute major penalty and helped pave the way for a comeback by the Philadelphia Flyers. Vincent Lecavalier scored at 2:45 of overtime and the Flyers rallied from a two-goal deficit for a 5-4 victory on Sunday.The return of their captain wasnt enough to lift the Boston Bruins out of their slump. A coaching change also didnt have an immediate effect on the struggling Ottawa Senators. The Senators will try again to give Dave Cameron his first NHL victory today, but wins have been rare in recent visits to Boston. Viewers in the Senators region can watch the game on TSN5 at 1pm et/10am pt or listen on TSN Radio 1200. Ottawa enters this game having lost six of seven overall and a season-high four in a row on the road. That stretch helped end coach Paul MacLeans tenure with the Senators on Monday, a day after a 4-3 overtime win over Vancouver. They lost 5-3 to Los Angeles on Thursday in the 56-year-old Camerons debut as an NHL coach. Ottawa tied that game at 2-all at 1:44 of the third period but gave up two goals in the next 2 1/2 minutes. Nobody spoke of it, but we took it upon ourselves to understand you want to get him his first W, said Bobby Ryan, who scored his first goal in eight games. He hasnt come into an easy situation but hes done beautifully for the last couple days and run some good practices, and I think theres a lot to build on as a unit going forward. The Bruins (15-13-1) got star defenseman Zdeno Chara back in the lineup Thursday for the first time since he tore a knee ligament Oct. 23, but they fell 3-2 to Chicago for their sixth loss in eight games. Chara had the second-most ice time of any Boston skater with 24:11, but the Bruins gave up the games first three goals and couldnt take advantage of a 34-21 shhots advantage. Tyus Jones Jersey. If we keep playing the right way, eventually the wins will come, forward Milan Lucic told the teams official website. When we respect our system and play the right way, its worked for how many years? Its not like its stopped working. ... Its the commitment from within to play the right way thats going to get us wins. David Krejci could also return soon from a lower-body injury thats kept him out since Nov. 18. He has been practicing but his status is unclear for this game. Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg is expected to avoid a suspension for his hit on Jonathan Toews that sent the Blackhawks captain face-first into the boards. The team hopes Charas return can eventually spark a power play which is 1 for 20 in the last 11 games, including 0 for 12 in the past six at home. Boston has failed to score more than two goals in any of those home games. The Bruins have had no such problems scoring when the Senators have visited Boston recently, outscoring them 17-4 to win the last three meetings there. Ottawa (11-12-5) has lost nine of 11 at TD Garden, including a 4-2 defeat Nov. 1 in the teams only matchup this season. Like Ottawas Ryan, Bostons Brad Marchand has five points in his last three contests. Marchand has four goals and three assists in the last five matchups with Ottawa, and teammate Patrice Bergeron has at least one point in all of those games with two goals and six assists. The Senators havent dropped five straight on the road since Jan. 25-Feb. 16, 2013.
