    Freddie Freeman loved watching Jason Heyward slide hard into second base to break up a double play in the third inning.

    Without Heyward's hustle and Justin Upton's beating the throw to first base, Freeman wouldn't have had a chance to hit a three-run homer.

    "It's a testament to what they do," Freeman said. "They never give up. Even it's an eight-run (lead), they're running hard."

    Freeman, Dan Uggla and Brian McCann homered, powering the Atlanta Braves past the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-2 Sunday for a three-game sweep in a matchup of division leaders.
