Atlanta finished the job Sunday in Houston. Mike Yastrzemski’s three-run homer capped a four-run sixth inning in a 4-2 win that clinched the Braves’ seventh NL East title in nine years.
The club improved to 92-64 and is off today after sweeping the Astros. With the division settled, remaining regular-season games now matter primarily for postseason seeding, health and rotation setup. Atlanta sits four games behind the Dodgers in the race for the NL’s No. 2 seed.
