In the tenth inning on Friday night, the Braves have serious cause to worry -- not just for Game 2, but for the remainder of the playoffs.
Giants Vs. Braves, NLDS Game 2: Billy Wagner Leaves Game With Apparent Oblique Injury
Closer Billy Wagner, who has been tremendously effective for the Braves in 2010, left the game after throwing a pitch in the tenth. He winced and appeared to grab at his oblique muscle. At the moment, we don’t know the exact nature of the injury, or whether he will miss any more games.
It is worth noting that Wagner, who has had an outstanding career, has resolved to retire after the 2010 season. Hopefully, we haven’t seen the last of him.
In the meantime, Kyle Farnsworth has entered the game. Farnsworth, if you remember, gave up five critical runs in a relief appearance in Game 5 of the 2005 NLDS -- the last series the Braves were in. Stay tuned.
