Wiedmer: Braves about to face their most important week of the season

Atlanta Braves reliever Sean Newcomb sits in the dugout during the eighth inning of Saturday night's game against the host Miami Marlins. Newcomb kicked a garbage can after giving up the winning run in the 10th inning of the 7-6 loss to the Marlins. The metal garbage can hit the fire extinguisher hanging nearby on the tunnel wall between the dugout and clubhouse, and chemical dust began to spew. — Atlanta Braves reliever Sean Newcomb sits in the dugout during the eighth inning of Saturday night's game against the host Miami Marlins.
