On Friday night, the Braves clinched the division. On Saturday night, they used a half-strength lineup to blow out the opposition. On Sunday afternoon, they dropped the finale. C’est la baseball vie. With their final regular season home game of 2019 going down in the ledger as a loss, the Braves now turn their sights to a brief road trip, and then, to the National League Division Series.
On the pitching side, this game was like an amalgam of the various Dallas Keuchel starts the Braves have experienced this year. Keuchel cruised through some frames and danced in and out of trouble in others, but kept the Giants off the board through five innings.
