LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Dodgers have pain and misfortune down to such a science, they managed to tie a major league record on Tuesday when they put their 27th player on the disabled list this season.Left-hander Scott Kazmir received the dubious honor of tying the record when he went on the DL with neck inflammation. Lefty Brett Anderson also went on the DL on Tuesday with a blister on his left index finger, but he had already been there this year, so he did not add to the total.Anderson, though, became the fifth Dodgers player to go on the disabled list twice this season, along with Hyun-Jin Ryu, Brandon McCarthy, Scott Van Slyke and Josh Ravin.The only other team on record to have put 27 players on the DL was the 2012 Boston Red Sox. Official records in this area have only been kept for the past 30 years, but all the teams high on the list were added in recent years.Trouble started early for L.A. as the Dodgers were believed to have set a major league record when they opened the season with 10 players on the DL.First-year Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has been able to guide his club to the top of the National League West despite the injury woes. The Dodgers opened a three-game series on Tuesday against the second-place San Francisco Giants.Through it all, Roberts has tried to remain positive. If he can hang on just a week longer, reinforcements will arrive when rosters are expanded.Were looking forward to Sept. 1, as everybody is, Roberts said before Tuesdays game. With what weve been going through, it will be nice to get more numbers. But this is a big series, a big game, and we will have 25 active players tonight ready to win a baseball game.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Braves have struggled to score runs this year, ranking last in the majors in that department. As a result, its been rare that an Atlanta starting pitcher has been gifted an early lead to work with.Thanks to Freddie Freeman, the Braves bucked both trends Wednesday night.Freeman homered, doubled and tied a career high with five RBI as the Braves held off the Twins 9-7 for a two-game sweep.Atlanta finished the game with 16 hits, with each player in the lineup getting at least one.It was nice to see that, nice to get on board early, Freeman said. We were able to continue it all the way to the fifth and sixth inning. Thats all we needed tonight. The bullpen was fantastic.Freeman went 4 for 4 with a walk, driving in five runs for the fifth time in his career. His 18th homer gave the Braves a 7-0 lead in the fourth inning.The Twins closed to 8-7 in the sixth on an RBI grounder by Joe Mauer.

Jim Johnson pitched the ninth for his fourth save.Hard-throwing righty Mauricio Cabrera also played a big role out of Atlantas bullpen. He struck out three batters in 1 1/3 innings, hitting 101 mph on the Target Field radar gun.Cabrera picked up a big strikeout of Miguel Sano to end a Twins threat in the sixth and pitched a scoreless seventh inning to keep it a one-run game.We talked the other night about bringing him into stressful innings, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker. I think more than probably 80 percent of the times Ive brought him in, its been game on the line or a big situation. His presence is really, really good.Twins starter Tyler Duffey (5-8) was chased in the second. The right-hander gave up five runs on eight hits, including a two-run homer by Jeff Francoeur in the first inning.It was the second straight outing in which Duffey has lasted less thhan three innings.ddddddddddddIts really frustrating when it piles up like that, and you give up the singles, and you give up the hard-hit ball, Duffey said. Watching a game like that, we come back fighting like that, end up losing, and it started with me.Atlanta and Minnesota entered the series with the two worst records in the majors. The Braves are 35-66, the Twins are 37-63.The Braves are now 9-5 in regular-season matchups against the team it lost to in the 1991 World Series.Freeman added a two-run homer in the fourth off Michael Tonkin. It was the third four-hit game of the season for Freeman, who leads the Braves with 106 hits.A day after getting shut out, the Twins scored in the fourth on a double by Eddie Rosario. Kurt Suzuki added a two-run homer later in the inning.We pecked away at them, got back into the game, Twins manager Paul Molitor said. They added on a couple that proved to be the difference at the end of the game. But we had chances right down to the end.BRAVES MAKE A DEALPrior to the game, Atlanta dealt right-hander Lucas Harrell and left-hander Dario Alvarez to the Texas Rangers for infield prospect Travis Demeritte.Demeritte, 21, represented the United States in this months All-Star Futures Game in San Diego.
