Among pitchers with at least as many innings as Vizcaino (22.2), the right-hander owns the fourth- best K/9 IP rate in the majors (13.10). Vizcaino has struck out at least one batter in 19 consecutive appearances, the longest active streak for a reliever in MLB...He is just the second Braves reliever with as long a streak since 1966...Craig Kimbrel compiled three such runs (26 games, 20 twice), with the last (20 games) coming in 2012 (7/19-9/17). MALLEX SMITH: Tripled home a run in the sixth inning last night, giving him a MLB high-tying four triples this season. Smith became the first Atlanta player to collect four triples in his first 44 career games…The last player in franchise history with at least four triples in his first 44 games was Bill Bruton, who had five in 1953 for Milwaukee. Fourteen of his first 30 hits (seven doubles, four triples, three home runs) have gone for extra bases... He is hitting .322 (19-for-59) in his 17 starts from the nine spot in the lineup…The Braves have seven of their 16 wins with Smith in the nine spot. TRAILING AFTER 8: The Braves won last night for the first time when trailing after eight innings…They had been 0-30 in such games. They trailed 4-3 after seven innings as well last night, just their second win this season when going to the 8th behind...They are now 2-26 in these games. EXTRAS: The Braves played their MLB-high 10th extra-inning game last night…They are 3-7 in such games. BRIAN SNITKER: Longtime Brave Brian Snitker was named Atlanta’s interim manager on May 17...He earned his first win on May 18 (at PIT) and his first home win on Friday night (vs. MIA)...Overall, the Braves have gone 7-8 under Snitker. In his 40th season in the organization, Snitker (60) became the first manager to get his first Major League win at age 60 or older since Bobby Mattick did so for the Blue Jays in 1980 at the age of 64. COUNTDOWN: This season, the Braves are counting down to the final Braves game at Turner Field, October 2 at 3:10 against the Detroit Tigers...Each of the home games will be counted off the outfield wall.
