Braves pitcher John Smoltz gets ready to deliver a pitch Saturday in an extra-inning, 4-3 win over the Brewers. Extra inning excitement during the game obscured Smoltz’s eight innings of two-hit pitching. The Braves went 3-1 against Milwaukee in the weekend series and opened the final week of the season in Philadelphia on Tuesday night with a slim chance of earning a berth in the playoffs. They travel to Houston on Friday for their final, three-game series.
