Bullpen 101

Nothing new about John Smoltz having a good solid outing (7IP, 6H, 1R, 1ER, 0BB, 6K), but the breaking news is that the bullpen was able to hold his lead upon his departure.

The two new additions to the 'pen - Danys Baez and Bob Wickman shut down the Pirates to close out the Braves win ---- ending a 4 game skid.

Pete Orr pinch hit for Smoltz in the top of the 8th. He flew out to drop his average to .191. New Brave Willy Aybar appears to be the everyday man at the hot corner while Chipper is on the shelf.
