MIAMI -- The National Leagues only living seven-hit men met Wednesday.Rennie Stennett visited Marlins Park so he could congratulate San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford, who had seven hits in Mondays 14-inning victory at Miami.The seven-hit game was the first since Stennett went 7 for 7 for the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field in 1975.It was cool to meet him, Crawford said. We talked about the game he had a little bit and how hell never forget it. I said, `Im sure I wont either.Crawford and Stennett shook hands and posed for photos on the field before the final game of the Giants-Marlins series.Stennett, 65, was a .274 hitter in 11 seasons with the Pirates and Giants. He lives in South Florida.I feel good just being remembered, he said.The only other NL player with a seven-hit game was Baltimores Wilbert Robinson in 1892. The major league record is nine hits by Clevelands Johnny Burnett in 1932. Jerry Tillery Jersey . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. Junior Seau Youth Jersey .

The Anahim Lake, B.C., native was stellar in making 39 saves in his home province and Lars Eller got credit for a bizarre short-handed winner as the Canadiens defeated the Canucks 4-1. FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Devonta Freeman was a breakout star in 2015 as a dual-threat player who more than doubled the carries and yards rushing of any other Falcons running back.Freeman no longer is an every-down back for Atlanta (1-1). Tevin Coleman has emerged as a near equal to Freeman in the backfield. Like Freeman, Coleman also is effective as both a runner and receiver, lending more versatility to the Falcons offense entering Monday nights game at New Orleans (0-2).Freeman and Coleman combined for 164 total yards in last weeks 35-28 win at Oakland. It was the second straight week the tandem topped 150 yards.Theyre a monster together, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said Thursday. They love battling and competing. It was great to see them both really getting in the action over the last two weeks.Giving Coleman a larger role wasnt an obvious call for Quinn, considering Freemans big success last season when he ran for more than 1,000 yards with 11 touchdowns and trailed only All-Pro receiver Julio Jones on the team with 73 catches.Quinns plan is to keep Freeman fresh by utilizing Colemans speed, providing a change of pace to the shifty Freeman.The running back tandem has played a big role in the diversification of the Falcons offense. Quarterback Matt Ryan already has completed passes to 11 receivers, including nine against the Raiders.Freeman has 28 carries, only eight more than Coleman, for 113 yards. Freeman said he enjoyed the heavy workload in 2015 but doesnt mind sharing the job with Coleman -- as long as Atlanta is winning.If it works, dont try to fix it, Freeman said. Whatever weve got to do to win. Whatever Ive got to do to help my team win, thats what Im all about.Coleman said he competes with Freeman through the week and cheers for him in games.In practice were competing against each other to make each other better, Coleman said. Hes still my boy. If he makes a big play, of course Im going to be the first one down there to tell him `good job.ddddddddddddhe Falcons have plays for each back to line up wide as receivers as well as behind Ryan. That gives Ryan more weapons -- and gives opposing coaches more worries.Its important to what theyre doing offensively, said Saints coach Sean Payton. Both backs are explosive. We know them both well from the draft. Coleman is kind of more of a slasher, straight-line speed guy.Payton said the Falcons do a great job, as good as anyone in using the running backs in multiple looks.So just simulating that speed of the running game and the angles with which it hits is always one of the challenges, he said.Some teams may line up running backs outside just to spread out the defense. Ryan said defenses have to respect the threat posed by Freeman and Coleman.Its huge, Ryan said. Were not putting those guys out to spread anything out. Were putting them out to throw it to them. Both those guys have showcased just how talented they are with the ball in their hand.Game notes Jones (calf) was held out of practice for the second straight day. Quinn said he anticipates Jones participating in some things on Saturday and playing on Monday night unless theres a setback. ... SS Keanu Neal (knee) had limited participation. Neal could make his debut after missing the first two games. ... WR Mohamed Sanu (ankle) and DE Brooks Reed (shoulder) also were limited. ... RB Terron Ward, who was released on Thursday, was signed to the practice squad. RB Blake Sims, the former Alabama quarterback signed to the practice squad on Sept. 13, was released.---AP Sports Writer Brett Martel in New Orleans contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
