ATLANTA -- Manager Kirk Gibson had no interest in dwelling too long on the Diamondbacks eighth-inning calamity. "We didnt deserve to win the game," he said. "We walked five in an inning without a hit and only gave up two runs. Then we gave them seven walks, three hit batsmen, made an error. Just melted down. Didnt play good at all." David Hernandez hit two batters, left fielder Jason Kubel made an errant throw and Arizona gave up seven runs in the eighth inning of an 11-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. After Miguel Monteros solo homer gave the Diamondbacks a one-run lead in the top of the eighth, everything unraveled. Hernandez plunked pinch-hitter Reed Johnson and Andrelton Simmons with pitches before Jason Heywards tying RBI double scored Johnson from second base. Simmons scored the go-ahead run from first on the same play as Kubels throw to Eric Chavez bounced wide left of the third baseman. "Im always ready for a mistake," Simmons said. "As soon as I saw the ball leaving his glove, I was gone." The Braves rallied for their 23rd comeback victory, tops in the National League. Atlanta has won two straight and four of five to lead Washington by 6 1/2 games in the NL East. The Diamondbacks, who have 22 comeback wins, have lost four of five. Braves starter Tim Hudson extended his winless streak to 10 straight starts, allowing five hits, four runs and four walks with two strikeouts in 5 2-3 innings. Hernandez (4-5) allowed hits and four runs with no walks or strikeouts in one-third of an inning. He has allowed 10 runs over his last eight games. "Its a game we should have won," Hernandez said. "Weve got to be ready tomorrow. Its just another disappointing outing. Its frustrating." After a single by Justin Upton chased Hernandez, Tony Sipp allowed Brian McCanns two-run single and Dan Ugglas RBI double, before B.J. Uptons sacrifice fly RBI to make it 10-5. Chris Johnson added an RBI single off J.J. Putz for an 11-5 lead. The Diamondbacks took a 5-4 lead in the top of the eighth on Miguel Monteros fifth homer, a solo shot, off Jordan Walden. Walden (3-1) earned the win despite allowing three hits and one run with no walks and one strikeout in one inning. Arizona scored its first four runs on an RBI double by Montero, Kubels RBI single in the fourth and A.J. Pollocks two-run homer in the sixth. Hudson was chased when Pollocks sixth homer scored Kubel in the sixth to tie it at 4-all. Arizonas rotation extended its winless streak to 21 games after Ian Kennedy gave up five hits, four runs, four walks and struck out four in 4 1-3 innings. Kennedy fell behind 2-0 in the third when Justin Upton singled and scored on Freddie Freemans eighth homer. Hudson, who began the game with a 16.88 ERA with runners in scoring position, laboured in the 27-pitch fourth as Arizona tied it at 2-all. But the Braves took advantage of Kennedys control problems in the fifth, scoring two runs without getting a hit and by putting just one ball, B.J. Uptons sacrifice fly RBI, in play. Kennedy walked three of the first four batters he faced, getting chased on his free pass to Brian McCann. Will Harris, the next Arizona pitcher, walked the first batter he faced, Uggla, to score Heyward. Uptons sacrifice fly scored Freeman to make it 4-2. Kennedy was making his first appearance since serving a 10-game suspension imposed following a brawl between the Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 11. "I definitely could tell I wasnt in sync after taking that down time," Kennedy said. "Command-wise, I didnt feel that good. It shows when I was out there. Taking 10 days off is a long time. Hopefully next time is better." Making his seventh straight start on the road, Kennedy dropped to 1-4 with a 6.28 ERA in 10 starts away from Phoenix. "Any way you look at it, we havent played as good defensively as we were earlier in the year," Gibson said. "Our bullpen is not nearly as good, our starting pitching hasnt been as good, we havent hit with any consistency, so there you have it. Well have to figure things out, well have to switch things around." Notes: Chavez went 1 for 5 with five runners left on base in his first game since May 30.

Lewis Hamilton followed up his victory last week in Malaysia by having the fastest time in both sessions, the second of which was held under lights for the first time at the Bahrain International Circuit, which has switched to being a night race. Hamiltons time of 1 minute, 34.690 seconds was one third of a second faster than teammate and championship leader Nico Rosberg, and more than a second faster than third-place Fernando Alonso of Ferrari.

Williams had a distinctly different approach to the days practice, doing relatively few laps to extend engine life, reckoning that it had all the data it needed about the Bahrain track after extensive preseason testing there. Toro Rosso rookie Daniil Kvyat was eighth fastest, ahead of McLarens Kevin Magnussen and Force Indias Sergio Perez. The night session, which began in falling desert temperatures at 6 p.m. local time -- the same as Sundays race -- saw many drivers struggling to get sufficient heat in the tires, misjudging braking distances and running off track.
