    If the current roster can get and stay healthy the Braves might be able to hold on to 1st. I'd feel better about things if Beachy is able to replace Maholm in the starting rotation. Hopefully BJ will have a better second half.

    The Phillies appear to be done. Washington is gimpy and 8.5 back.

    What could go wrong?

    ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves have added a needed left-hander to their bullpen by acquiring Scott Downs from the Los Angeles Angels for minor league righty Cory Rasmus.

    The Braves have lost left-handed relievers Jonny Venters and Eric O'Flaherty to season-ending elbow injuries. The 37-year-old Downs joins Luis Avilan as lefties in Atlanta's bullpen.

    Downs was 2-3 with a 1.84 ERA in 43 games with the Angels. He is 36-35 with a 3.47 ERA in 12 seasons.

    Downs had 29 consecutive scoreless appearances from May 5-July 23 before giving up three hits and two runs in a 3-1 loss at Oakland in his last outing with the Angels on Saturday.

    Rasmus had an 8.10 ERA in three appearances with Atlanta this season before he was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on June 18.



    It doesn`t look like they gave up much.

    Beachy better get some movement on that 84 mph curve. He was serving it up waist high to the Rockies.

    Smoke and mirrors, but I'm happy for them anyway. They haven't had a winning season since '92.

    Filed under shit that doesn`t really matter:


    The Braves had a 7-run inning in the 3rd. It's the 3rd straight game in which they've scored at least 6 runs in any inning (Mon: 6 runs in 3rd, Tue: 6 runs in 4th, Wed: 7 runs in 3rd). The last MLB team with 3+ straight games with a 6+ run inning was the Yankees from May 18-20, 2009 (3 straight). The last time the Braves franchise did it was September 24-25, 1900 when they were known as the Boston Beaneaters .
