Atlanta Braves – With the entire Atlanta hierarchy needing a night off after a busy stretch, Kirby Yates picked up his first save of the season. It was only four years ago when Yates was maybe the best reliever in baseball, and while he hasn’t fully recaptured his old form, he’s been a nice piece in the middle of the Atlanta bullpen.
Hierarchy remains: Iglesias | Minter | Anderson.
