The Braves were unable to capitalize on a Mets loss. Time is running out for them to secure a spot in the postseason party. Here’s everything you missed from last night’s MLB action.
Miami Marlins 4, Atlanta Braves 3
The Braves are doing themselves no favors in the Wild Card race. After scoring 15 runs on Thursday, the Braves offense could only plate three runs. Charlie Morton allowed three runs in the first inning.
Philadelphia Phillies 12, New York Mets 2
The Phillies offense finally showed up in the series. After multiple 10-run outings from the Mets, the Phillies shut down the New York offense. Cristopher Sánchez allowed just two earned runs with seven strikeouts in five innings.

Baltimore Orioles 7, Detroit Tigers 1
The Tigers need every win they can get as they try to secure a Wild Card berth. However, the Orioles had a big night at the plate. Colton Cowser and James McCann each hit two home runs.
Tampa Bay Rays 1, Toronto Blue Jays 0
As both teams struggled at the plate, the Rays came through with the big hit. Jonathan Aranda hit a solo home run in the sixth inning to score the deciding run.
Cincinnati Reds 8, Pittsburgh Pirates 3
Tyler Stephenson’s stellar night at the plate led the way for the Reds. He had five RBIs with three hits. His bases-clearing double in the third inning was the big blow.
Just the third player in MLB history to get to 100 in the first 2 season!!#reds https://t.co/x9oleSA5Wt

Chicago Cubs 3, Washington Nationals 1
Dansby Swanson hit his 16th home run of the season in the first inning. The Cubs held the Nats in check behind a quality start from Jameson Taillon.
San Francisco Giants 2, Kansas City Royals 1
The Giants pitching handheld the Royals’ offense, leaning on the bullpen. Starter Mason Black went just 5 2/3 innings and allowed four hits. The bullpen handled the Royals the rest of the night and allowed just one hit despite a bases-loaded scare in the final frame.
Seattle Mariners 8, Texas Rangers 2
