The Atlanta Braves have officially clinched the NL East.
The Braves, who were already the first team in Major League Baseball to clinch a playoff berth this season, beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 on Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park. That officially gave them the NL East title for the sixth straight year and a postseason bye to the NLDS.
