Jim Johnson notches 15th save against Phillies
by Steve Painter | Sun, Sep 4th 6:53pm EDT
Johnson produced a flawless ninth inning Sunday, striking out all three batters he faced to seal the team's sixth straight victory and notch his 15th save of the season.
Fantasy Impact:
It's an unlikely story but Johnson has quickly become a story as he has taken an opportunity offered by Arodys Vizcaino's injury and seized full-time closing duties for the team. And he will be the guy the rest of the way more than likely as the Braves are unlikely to put Viz in any high-leverage situations even if he returns from the DL with shoulder inflammation.
