Braves clinch NL East

Mike Foltynewicz pitched a no-hitter into the seventh as the Atlanta Braves clinched their first division title in five years with a 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Rookie Ronald Acuna caught a flyball for the final out setting off a celebration on the SunTrust Park field for the newly-crowned National League East Division champions. The Braves will begin the postseason on October 4 in a best-of-five series against an undetermined opponent. Also, the New York Yankees punched their ticket to the playoffs, clinching an American League wildcard berth for the second straight year with a 3-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Aaron Hicks hit a double to drive in the winning run in the 11th inning for the Yankees, who improved to 95-59 on the season, their most wins since 2012. New York will play a winner-takes-all wildcard affair on October 3, most likely against Oakland.
