Braves clinch play-off spot with 5-2 win over Pirates

A four-run seventh helped propel the Atlanta Braves to a 5-2 come-from-behind win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. With the win, the Braves become the first team to officially punch their ticket to the postseason.

The Braves turned to Allan Winans for the start Sunday and he didn’t disappoint. He allowed a two-out single to Ke’Bryan Hayes in the first and then retired seven straight before Bryan Reynolds singled to lead off the fourth. He retired the side in order in the fifth before the Pirates finally scratched across a run.

Ji Hwan Bae singled with one out and then came all the way around to score on a double to right by Reynolds.
