Marcell Ozuna and Adam Duvall hit two run home runs in the 8th inning to give the Atlanta Braves a 5-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds to sweep their NL Wild Card series this afternoon. Ronald Acuna had a double in the fifth inning to drive home the Braves first run to take a 1-0 lead. The Reds were held to just two hits by Ian Anderson and three relievers.
Game 2 of the National League wild-card series between the Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins was postponed because of a forecast for rain today.
Miami leads 1-0 after winning the opener 5-1 Wednesday and the teams will
meet Friday. If a Game 3 is needed, it would be played Saturday.
