Touki solid in NLDS audition; Braves rally in NY

NEW YORK -- While Braves manager Brian Snitker would like to secure home-field advantage for next week's National League Division Series, he understands the value of taking time this week to audition some of his players like Touki Toussaint, who continues to be an intriguing option for the last available postseason rotation spot.

Toussaint at least extended his candidacy, as the young hurler made just one costly mistake in Tuesday night's 7-3 win over the Mets at Citi Field. His ability to keep the Braves within striking distance was rewarded when Ronald Acuna Jr.'s two-run single capped a decisive four-run seventh.
