The Braves pulled off a dramatic, clutch win against the Cubs, rallying from a 3-run deficit with a game-changing two-run homer by Ozzie Albies in the 7th. Didier Fuentes locked down the final innings, and Drake Baldwin added insurance with a 2-run blast in the 9th. The victory slashes their magic number to five, putting them on the brink of clinching the NL East as early as this Saturday — and a Nationals win over the Phillies helped make it even more likely. It’s gritty, resilient baseball at its finest, with the Braves proving they’re serious contenders as the season winds down.

Ronald Acuña Jr. just launched his 18th home run of the season — a crushing two-run shot to left field in the sixth inning — igniting the Braves and showcasing why he’s been on fire this September. With laser precision, he crushed a fastball down the middle, delivering exactly the spark the team needed. His OPS has been elite this month, and this homer is just another signature moment in his dominant stretch. Acuña continues to prove his worth as one of baseball’s most electrifying hitters.

Baseball’s biggest story this week? Kevin Gausman’s rough season clashes with Martin Perez’s postseason potential, while Atlanta’s bullpen and pitching depth could decide it all — especially after losing Ronaldo Lopez. And don’t forget Pete Crow-Armstrong, on track to become the first center fielder ever to hit 40 homers, steal 30 bases, and collect 30 doubles in one season. The Braves may be doubted down the stretch, but their bullpen might just be the secret weapon that keeps them alive — if they can harness it.

Braves drop Game 1 in Chicago, but make a savvy waiver move: they’ve claimed righty Michael Grove, a former Dodgers draft pick who’s been DFA’d by Tampa Bay. Grove’s struggled in MLB (5 ER in limited innings) but shined at Triple-A with a 3.55 ERA. Now headed to Gwinnett, this could be a depth play—or a stepping stone back to Atlanta.
