ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves dropped into a tie for the final NL wild card berth, losing 3-1 to Colorado on Thursday night as Michael Toglia and Ezequiel Tovar hit solo home runs for the Rockies.
Atlanta and New York are both 76-64 with 22 games left, eight games back of NL East-leading Philadelphia.
“Frustrating when we can’t score, especially when we get a good start,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “Just frustrating that we couldn’t get anything going.”
Austin Gomber (5-10) allowed one run and five hits in eight innings, matching his season high.
