Live blog: Braves take down Tigers, 5-3
The Tigers simply couldn't find the game-breaker they needed Saturday night at Turner Field and lost to the Braves, 5-3, putting even more excruciating pressure on the Tigers in their final two games if they hope to steal an American League wildcard seat.
Down, 5-2, entering the ninth, the Tigers got a run on Nick Castellanos' double and an infield single from Jose Iglesias, bringing to bat Victor Martinez as a pinch-hitter with one on and two out.
Braves reliever Jim Johnson got Martinez to slap a one-hop grounder to second base to end the game and put into the archives the final Braves night game ever at Turner Field.
