MIAMI -- Atlanta Braves right-hander Aaron Blair and Miami Marlins left-hander Wei-Yin Chen are looking for redemption for seasons gone terribly wrong.They will face each other on Saturday when the Braves (63-91) take on the Marlins (76-78). Even though the Braves are in last place, they are one of the hotter teams in baseball, having won seven games in a row for their best win streak in two years.Blair, a 24-year-old from Las Vegas who played his college ball at Marshall, was acquired by the Braves in December in the deal that sent star pitcher Shelby Miller to the Arizona Diamonbacks.The Braves also got shortstop Dansby Swanson and center fielder Ender Inciarte back as part of that deal.Swanson and Inciarte have worked out well so far, but Blair (1-6, 7.71 ERA) has been a disaster.Blair started the season ranked No. 4 among Braves prospects, and he made his major league debut on April 24.But Blair, after making 11 starts and going 0-5 with a 7.99 ERA, was sent back down to Triple-A Gwinnett on June 25. While in the minors, Blair injured his knee and didnt pitch well there, either, sporting a 5.98 ERA.The Braves, though, gave him another chance, and -- on Sept. 19 against the New York Mets -- Blair finally earned his first major league victory, allowing just two runs in six innings.Braves manager Brian Snitker said Blair changed his delivery, an improvement that led to victory.All the work he put in, making changes, its nice to see that being rewarded, Snitker told the media after his win.In essence, Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell worked to keep Blair more upright during his delivery. By eliminating a turn in his motion, Blair kept his weight on his back leg longer, and that has made a difference.Giving up a run per inning wasnt great, Blair said, exaggerating only slightly his poor performances this season. I was open to any changes.Chen, a 31-year-old native of Taiwan, may want to make some adjustments as well because he is just 5-4 with a 5.04 ERA this season.Much more was expected from Chen when the Marlins signed him to a five-year, $80 million contract.He was supposed to be the Marlins second-best pitcher behind Jose Fernandez, but he hasnt been.He was supposed to be a fly-ball pitcher who benefits from the spacious dimensions at Marlins Park, but that hasnt been the case either.His numbers were really good the past two years with the Baltimore Orioles -- 16-6 with a 3.54 ERA in 2014 and 11-8 with a 3.34 ERA in 2015.The expectation was that those numbers would get even better in a big ballpark and in a league with no designated hitter. Chen figured to have the element of unfamiliarity to his advantage since few NL batters had faced him consistently as had their AL counterparts.None of those theories worked, however, and Chen also missed two months due to an elbow injury. He returned on Monday against the Washington Nationals, allowing three runs in 4 1/3 innings.I felt pretty good overall, Chen said. But in the fifth inning, I couldnt get outs.He will need to do so on Saturday as the Marlins extremely remote playoff chances are hanging by a thread. Discount Yeezy .

Liam Messam has suffered his second selection blow in the space of a fortnight, told he is ineligible to play for the Chiefs in the Super Rugby playoffs.SANZAAR informed the Chiefs they cant field the 43-Test All Blacks flanker in the knockout phase as he hasnt played enough regular season games.The ruling was made hours before the 25-man Chiefs squad were to begin their travel to Cape Town, where they face the Stormers in a quarter-final on Saturday.Messam has been replaced in the squad by flanker Tevita Koloamatangi, who hasnt played a game this year.Under SANZAAR rules, Messam needed to have played four games to be eligible as he wasnt included in their initial season squad of 40.The Chiefs sought dispensation because of a high injury toll to their loose forwards but SANZAAR declined, deeming they had enough players available to them.Messam, 32, had dedicated his season to Sevens rugby, seeking an Olympic berth.He missed selection this month and immediately re-joined the team he had represented a record 144 times, coming off the bench against the Reds iin Brisbane and then starting in Saturdays 25-15 loss to the Highlanders.ddddddddddddessam was philosophical with his reaction on Twitter.Sometimes its just not meant to be.
