Finally alone in first place!
The Atlanta Braves have sole possession of the NL East for the first time this season after defeating the Seattle Mariners 6-4 at T-Mobile Park on Friday night. Charlie Morton got the start and lasted 6.1 innings. All four of Seattle’s runs were credited to him.
It was another solid night for the Atlanta offense, who homered four times. Dansby Swanson got things going early with a two-run shot in the opening frame.
