Dubón and Albies hit 3-run homers as Braves beat Blue Jays 7-3 for 12th straight win against Corbin

ATLANTA (AP) — Mauricio Dubón hit a go-ahead, three-run home run in the third inning and the Atlanta Braves beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-3 on Wednesday night to continue their mastery of left-hander Patrick Corbin.

A homer by Nathan Lukes off Grant Holmes (4-2) in the third inning gave Toronto a 2-1 lead. The Braves answered off Corbin (2-2) in the bottom of the inning. With two outs, Matt Olson singled and moved to third on Ozzie Albies' double. Dubón's homer into the Braves' bullpen behind the center-field wall gave Atlanta a 4-2 lead.

Olson, who hit a tie-breaking homer in Atlanta's 4-3 win over Toronto on Tuesday night, had three hits. Olson singled and scored on Albies' three-run homer off left-hander Adam Macko in the seventh to extend the lead to five runs.

Toronto catcher Brandon Valenzuela hit a homer off Tyler Kinley in the ninth.

Corbin gave up four runs on six hits and two walks in five innings for his 12th consecutive loss to the Braves. The last pitcher in the majors to lose 12 consecutive decisions to one team was Mark Buehrle, who lost 12 straight to the New York Yankees from 2004-14 with the White Sox, Miami and Toronto.

Corbin is 6-13 against Atlanta for his career. The streak of losing 12 straight decisions over 13 starts began on Sept. 6, 2019, with Washington.

The Braves clinched the series win. They have the majors' best record at 42-20 and are 17-2-1 in series.

Holmes allowed two runs on five hits and two walks with four strikeouts in six innings.

Atlanta LHP Chris Sale (8-3, 2.01 ERA) will start in Thursday night's final game of the series. Toronto has not announced its starter. RHP Chad Dallas, who has a 4.50 ERA in 10 games for Triple-A Buffalo, was with the team on Wednesday and could be promoted for the start.

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — A Sherpa guide was found crawling to base camp on Mount Everest a week after he went missing, and was reunited with his family who had given up hope he would return.

Dawa Sherpa was last seen around May 29 descending the mountain, but he did not make it to base camp even though his client did. The pair were among the last climbers on the mountain as the climbing season came to an end and the route was dismantled.

Dawa was located by a cleaning crew Thursday morning as he was crawling down the snowy slopes around the Khumbu Icefall, just above base camp, said Pemba Sherpa of 8K Expeditions, which was coordinating the search.

He was quickly carried down to safety and given food and water. A rescue helicopter flew him to HAMS Hospital in Kathmandu, where his wife and daughter, who had already begun funeral rituals for him, were waiting.

"We first heard that he was still alive on the local news and from a person we know who called with the news that ... he is being brought down," his wife, Damu Sherpa, said.

Though Dawa had been missing since last week, there was a delay in organizing a search team. No reasons were given for the delay, but when helicopters were finally sent to look for him, they could not find him.

His family had already given up hope. Dawa’s teenage daughter, Mendo Lhamu Sherpa, said they were already on the second day of a funeral ritual, which lasts for several days.

“When we first heard about it (the rescue), we could not be sure if that person was indeed our father,” Mendo Lhamu said. “So to be certain we asked for photos to be sent and then only we were sure and very happy.”

The team that spotted him was part of the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee, which lays the ladders and ropes on the route at the start of each climbing season and then removes the equipment and cleans up the site after the climbers have left.

Dawa, 52, works for a small Kathmandu-based company called Himalayan Traverse, and he was guiding a Polish climber. He comes from the town of Okhaldhunga, south of Everest.

More than 1,000 climbers and their guides scaled Everest this May, which was the busiest climbing season ever on the world's highest mountain. It began late because of a massive ice block on the route just above the base camp that took about two weeks to clear.

The 8,849-meter (29,032-foot) high peak was first climbed on May 29, 1953, by New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay.
