Matt Diaz was 0-4 heading into the 9th, but he was
right in the middle of the 5-4 win over the Padres.
1) His weakly hit ball to Crabbe in the 6th was booted. The Braves scored 2 runs after the 2 out error.
2) Diaz was batting when Bell threw a wild pitch and Escobar scored.
3) Diaz knocked in the winning run in the 9th.

Now this is the type of win the Braves needed. Smoltz absolutely dominated the Nats and the highly vaunted offense delivered.
Chipper Jones had another career game going 3 for 4 while hammering a 3 run homer and plating 3 himself. Smoltz labored with a high pitch count yet had a no-no going into the eighth inning. Peter Moylan and Rafael Soriano arrived in the eighth and ninth innings respectively and closed out the Nats.
Combine this win with the fantastic come from behind win two days ago and the Braves have a bit of momentum going into Saturday's game.

What a win.
Hudson was lit up early but the Braves refused to lose. It was good to see some fight left in them.
I wonder what Diaz has to do to get the full time starting gig. Bobby's reasoning in platooning with Harris was Harris was just too hot to sit on the bench. That was understandable two months ago, but Harris isn't hot now and hasn't been in more than a month. Run Diaz out there full time.
While this may sound like wishful thinking, the Braves aren't out of the race. If they can bust 14 wins out of the last 17 games, we got a shot. Of course, if they could have done that at any point earlier in the year, then we wouldn't be in this position to begin with.

Well, the Braves finally win one and
move up in the standings.
Lance Cormier went 5 and two-thirds innings and the bullpen went lights out and didn't give up a hit the rest of the game. The Braves scattered 11 hits with Andruw Jones going one for four and, get this, raising his average to a solid .222 for the season. It was a complete win but it may be a little too late for hopes of the playoffs.

What a fantastic win for the Bravos.
Smoltz set the Braves' strikeout record by passing Phil Niekro's club total of 2712 strikeout. Teixeira homered twice and drove in four runs. Escobar homered and showed that he deserves a spot at the major league level. Harris tripled, Kelly doubled, and Wickman loaded the bases but closed the game for his twentieth save of the season.
Atlanta heads off to Cincy with a win under their belt.
