The Braves could have easily been a bust during a season that began with thoughts of “World Series or bust.” But at no point did they give in, so maybe it shouldn’t have been surprising to see this injury-depleted and resilient bunch bounce back one more time to send them to the postseason with a Game 162 win.
There was reason for the Braves to celebrate after they claimed a 3-0 win over the Mets in the second game of Monday’s doubleheader at Truist Park. After blowing a lead in both of the final two innings of a crushing 8-7 loss in the first game, they learned top Cy Young Award candidate Chris Sale had been scratched from the nightcap because of back spasms.
