Nearly all season long, the bullpen has been the not-so-secret weapon of the Atlanta Braves. It came up huge on Sunday night in the season’s most critical game, as a cadre of Atlanta relievers fired 4 23 innings of scoreless ball, delivering unto Atlanta a home sweep of the Mets and a very good chance that they’ll secure the first-round playoff bye.
