ATLANTA (AP) — Spencer Horwitz homered twice among his four hits, José Berríos pitched six effective innings and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Atlanta 9-5 on Saturday night to knock the Braves out of the final NL wild-card spot.

With just 20 games left to play, the Braves fell one game behind the Mets with New York's 4-0 win over Cincinnati.

Berríos (15-9) allowed one earned run and five hits to set a career high for wins. He struck out five and walked one.

Horwitz had his second career multi-homer game, opening the scoring with a solo shot in the second inning and then hitting another in the fourth to make it 2-0.
