Jim Johnson notches ninth save as Braves defeat Brewers in extra innings
by Steve Painter | Mon, Aug 8th 11:50pm EDT
Johnson has been on fire lately, having saved seven of his last eight games, and, in that span, allowing only two hits and no runs. Tonight, Johnson pitched the 12th inning, allowing one hit while striking out two and securing another victory for the surprisingly resilient Braves.
Fantasy Impact:
For those that picked Johnson up when Arodys Vizcaino went on the DL, these are happy times. With Vizcaino likely out another 10-14 days, hopefully the good times can continue. When Viz returns look for him to be on somewhat of a shorter leash, considering Johnson's recent success.
