The Atlanta Braves continued to look strong heading into the Postseason with another solid performance tonight. This time, the offense kept on producing and the pitching staff performed well as a collective as the Braves clinched homefield advantage throughout the Postseason with a 5-3 win over the Chicago Cubs.
Both teams wasted no time getting their offense going in this one, as the two teams both made it onto the scoreboard in the first inning. AJ Smith-Shawver found himself in a tiny bit of trouble as he walked Mike Tauchman to lead off the game and then had to deal with Tauchman in scoring position after he stole second.
