After the Braves pulled within 4-3, relievers Joe Smith, Scott Schoeneweis, Pedro Feliciano and Billy Wagner held Atlanta scoreless the rest of the way Sunday. Wagner finished for his sixth save, giving up his first hit of the season after nine innings. Schoeneweis gave up two deep flyball outs but escaped the seventh without allowing a run. With Jeff Francoeur on second and two outs, Mark Teixeira drove the ball to right-center. Ryan Church and Carlos Beltran collided on the warning track, with Church holding on to make the catch. Church was slow to get up after his left foot was pinned against the wall, rolling his ankle, but he said afterward he was fine. "I saw him. He heard me. The only thing he could do, he was telling me after, was to do that slide and get out of the way," Church said. "It could've got ugly, but I made the play." In the dugout, Schoeneweis said, he told Church, "I'm on my way to buy a lottery ticket." (Updated 04/27/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Wagner has been outstanding this season and is a solid start in all Fantasy leagues at this point -- especially if the Mets bullpen can get hot and get him a consistent number of save chances and stop blowing saves before it gets to the closer. Smith, Schoeneweis and Feliciano are solid middle relievers for the deepest of Fantasy leagues that use true middle men. (Updated 04/27/2008).
