--LHP Jo-Jo Reyes lasted only 3 1/3 innings, long enough to give three runs and two homers. He is winless in his last 13 starts and 14 appearances.
--C Brian McCann hit three doubles Wednesday, giving him 42 on the season to lead all catchers in the category.
--RHP Buddy Carlyle has had to do a lot of mopping up as the Braves' long reliever; Wednesday's appearance was his 43rd. At some point he must be wondering why he doesn't get a start instead of LHP Jo-Jo Reyes, whose starts he invariably has to back up. Carlyle earned the win Wednesday by retiring the only two batters he faced.
--LF Matt Diaz, out since late May with a left knee injury, was activated from the 60-day disabled list. He hopes to make at least one appearance before the season ends.
BY THE NUMBERS: 6 -- Braves pitchers to be operated on by Dr. James Andrews this season: RHP Peter Moylan, RHP John Smoltz, LHP Tom Glavine, RHP Tim Hudson, RHP Rafael Soriano and LHP Chuck James.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I'm just not a guy who gives in." -- RHP John Smoltz.
