With their 3-2 win over the Washington Nationals Tuesday night, the Atlanta Braves became Major League Baseball's fourth team to secure a playoff spot this season, clinching their fifth straight playoff berth.
Monday night, the New York Mets and Houston Astros clinched playoff berths, not long after the Los Angeles Dodgers clinched a trip to their tenth-straight postseason.
The Braves have won the National League East the last four seasons. Though they have yet to clinch another NL East division title, along with a bye from the Wild Card round of the Major League Baseball playoffs, they have punched their ticket to play in October.
