September 16 - Mookie Betts drove in the go-ahead run with a single to ignite a seven-run top of the ninth that also featured three consecutive homers as the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied for a 9-2 win over the host Atlanta Braves on Sunday night.

Atlanta (81-68) remained tied with the New York Mets for the final wild-card spot in the National League. Los Angeles (88-61) improved to 4-2 against the Braves this season.

The ninth-inning uprising started against Atlanta closer Raisel Iglesias (5-2), who had not allowed an earned run over his previous 30 appearances.
