This Day in Braves History: John Smoltz becomes the seventh pitcher in history to record 50 saves
Briefly

In 1965, Tony Coninger's one-hitter in a 9-0 win over the Mets marked Milwaukee's second consecutive one-hit shutout against the team, tying a major league record set 48 years earlier.
On September 29, 1991, Kent Mercker, Mark Wohlers, and Alejandro Pena combined for a 1-0 no-hitter against the Padres, marking just the second no-hitter in Atlanta's history with Phil Niekro having previously no-hit the Padres in 1973.
In 2002, John Smoltz achieved remarkable success by becoming the seventh pitcher in league history to record a 50-save season, ultimately setting the NL record with 55 saves.
The Braves executed a triple steal in 1977 with Gary Matthews, Biff Pocoroba, and Pat Rockett, contributing to their victory against the Mets with a score of 7-3.
