This was a weird one. Started off with a Sanders walk. He then stole second and third and scored on a grounder. After that Rivera was mowing them down but ran into some trouble in the seventh, loaded the bases with no outs. Andersen took over and pitched out of the jam. Meanwhile, Pete freakin Smith was blanking us. Normally I’d never pull a pitcher who’s throwing a shutout, but with two outs and the bases loaded as mentioned above, figured the Braves would rather go for some insurance instead of trusting Smith to keep pitching over his head. Didn’t work and then the bullpen let them down in the eighth. Wohlers has a strong inning, but Stanton came in and blew it, with a triple by Eisenreich the biggest blow, giving us a two run lead heading into the ninth. Mitch came in and immediately gave up a solo shot to Justice. Sphincters tightened in the dugout, but then went 1-2-3 and secured another save.
