Cue the champagne cork popping sound fx.
The Braves clinched the 2019 NL East division title in game 155 at SunTrust Park with Mike Foltynewicz pitching, just like they clinched the 2018 title in game 155 with Mike Foltynewicz pitching. I’d be fine with them clinching the 2020 division title in game 155 at STP with Folty on the bump, but let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves, as there’s work to finish this year that last year’s team didn’t get to.
The aforementioned Foltynewicz saved his best start of the year for the clincher, twirling 8 innings of 2 hit, one walk shutout ball while chalking up 7 whiffs.
