Weir’s Oswalt (0-4) and Ole Miss alumnus Pomeranz (0-4) were activated from the disabled list by Colorado last week. 1 — Wins since June 30 by Paul Maholm, the ex-Mississippi State star now pitching for Atlanta. Maholm (10-10, 4.41 ERA), who missed a chunk of time with an injured wrist, starts today against Philadelphia. 2 — Wins the Mississippi Braves need to stay alive in the Southern League postseason. The M-Braves trail Mobile 2-1 in the best-of-5 SL South Division series. Game 4 is today in Mobile. 4 — Stolen bases, in four attempts, in four appearances as a pinch runner, by former Taylorsville High standout Billy Hamilton. He has scored the tying or go-ahead run three times for red-hot Cincinnati, which has won five of six. 7 — Blown saves by MSU product and Philadelphia closer Jonathan Papelbon, who suffered another against Atlanta on Saturday.
