Braves Clutch Win Closes In on Division | Atlanta Braves News

The Braves pulled off a dramatic, clutch win against the Cubs, rallying from a 3-run deficit with a game-changing two-run homer by Ozzie Albies in the 7th. Didier Fuentes locked down the final innings, and Drake Baldwin added insurance with a 2-run blast in the 9th. The victory slashes their magic number to five, putting them on the brink of clinching the NL East as early as this Saturday — and a Nationals win over the Phillies helped make it even more likely. It’s gritty, resilient baseball at its finest, with the Braves proving they’re serious contenders as the season winds down.
