Reds take loss from Giants, gives Braves hope

With the Reds losing again to the Giants this evening the Braves are now only six games out of the wild card (yet again). If Villarreal can keep the Braves in the game tomorrow afternoon and the offense can produce like we know it can, then the Braves could jump right back into the thick of the Wild Card.

Maybe another quality start from John, coupled with a day off meaning that Smoltz, Hudson and James will all start against the Giants, is just what the Braves needed to start a winning streak to challenge for the wild card.
