MIAMI — Even without Craig Kimbrel, the Atlanta Braves' bullpen was terrific on opening day. Two relievers combined to escape a bases-loaded, none-out jam in the seventh, and new closer Jason Grilli pitched a perfect ninth to help the Braves beat Miami 2-1 on Monday. The rebuilding Braves sent All-Star closer Kimbel to San Diego in their latest deal Sunday.
