Analysis:

It's a bit unusual that Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez elected to use Grilli in extra innings in a tie game on the road rather than holding him back to protect any lead they might get in the top half of a frame, but it worked out for Atlanta. Grilli now has a solid 3.22 ERA and 29:8 K:BB ratio in 22.1 innings, and the biggest threat to his spot as the team's closer is the possibility that he'll get dealt before the trade deadline.
