Braves News: Braves hang on against Nationals, clinch postseason berth, and more

A Braves win combined with a Brewers loss will allow the Braves to make the playoffs.

The bullpen was able to hang on as the Atlanta Braves defeated the Washington Nationals 3-2 on Tuesday night to win the series. Kudos to Washington’s relievers, who came up big after Nats starter Patrick Corbin left the game with an injury after throwing just 12 pitches.

Charlie Morton got the start for the Braves. He tossed 5.1 frames, surrendered one run, struck out nine, and walked three.
