3–1 already ran. 7–2 already ran. Friday’s 6–2 berth already ran. This is Sunday’s unused division.
Associated Press / ESPN, Sunday, Sept. 20, Daikin Park, Houston: Braves 4, Astros 2. Game time 2:46. Attendance 36,612. Ozzie Albies singled to tie it 1–1 in the sixth. Mike Yastrzemski homered to right off Bryan King (3–6) for three runs and a 4–1 lead. Jose Altuve and Yainer Diaz homered for Houston. Dylan Dodd struck out the side in the ninth for his second save. Victor Mederos (5–1) the win. A ninth-inning photo in new hats is not a World Series.
AP: Atlanta 92–64, the seventh NL East title in nine years, under first-year manager Walt Weiss after 76–86 last season. 24 division titles, tying the Dodgers for the most since 1969. The Braves have the third-best record in the National League; the top two get a first-round bye. Third-best is not a bye. Houston 77–79, swept, one game behind Texas in the AL West.
Dodgers 3–1 already ran this morning. Phillies 7–2 already ran last night. We will not invent Monday’s 6:35 p.m. ET Blue Jays–Orioles or Nationals–Tigers.
What this means for you
If you needed Chavez Ravine, that file exists. If you waited on the East, it is 4–2, 36,612, and a division. If you needed a bye, wait.
Bottom line: 4–2. NL East. 36,612. Not 3–1. Not October.
