Braves try to lock down NL East title, face Marlins
Field Level Media
The Miami Marlins will send Braxton Garrett to the mound on Tuesday in hopes of preventing the visiting Atlanta Braves from clinching the National League East on their home turf.
Garrett will try to follow the example of teammate Jesus Luzardo, who threw six scoreless innings and fanned 12 in a4-0 win over Atlanta on Monday in the opener of the season-ending series.
Atlanta's magic number to clinch its fifth straight division championship remains at one. The New York Mets had their game against Washington postponed by rain and will play a doubleheader on Tuesday. One Atlanta win or a New York loss will guarantee the Braves the No. 2 seed in the playoffs.
