Braves 4, Brewers 3
John Smoltz allowed two hits on Saturday -- a homer and a single. (Gregory Smith/AP)
By Mark Bowman / MLB.com
Down to their last out in the bottom of the 10th inning, the Braves received a game-tying homer from pinch-hitter Scott Thorman and won it the next inning on Mark Teixeira's walk-off single. Lost in the win was a standout performance from starter John Smoltz, who lost a no-hitter with two outs in the sixth inning and lasted eight innings, striking out eight Brewers.
