With Craig Kimbrel in need of a day off, Jordan Walden stepped into the closer's role and pitched a scoreless ninth for a save against the Nationals on Monday. Walden has a 2.37 ERA and 43 strikeouts in 38 innings out of the pen for the Braves. They've definitely been the winner in the Walden-for-Tommy Hanson swap with the Angels so far. For Walden, it was his second save in two years after he saved 32 games in 2011.
