Braves defeat Mariners 6-4 behind four homers, overtake Mets in NL East race

In a playoff-like atmosphere at T-Mobile Park on Friday night, the Braves rode four home runs and a gutsy pitching performance to a 6-4 win over Robbie Ray and the Mariners.

With the win, the Braves have moved one-half game ahead of New York in the NL East Race.

The Braves struck quickly in the first as Ronald Acuña singled and Dansby Swanson homered for a 2-0 lead. After a bit of a summer cool down, it seems Dansby may be heating up again for the final month of the regular season.

Seattle tied things in the bottom of the second with a two-run shot of their own courtesy of Carlos Santana.
