Los Angeles, Sept 23 (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 23rd Sep, 2018 ) :Mike Foltynewicz pitched a no-hitter into the seventh as the Atlanta Braves clinched their first division title in five years with a 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday.
Rookie Ronald Acuna caught a flyball for the final out setting off a celebration on the SunTrust Park field for the newly-crowned National League East Division champs.
The Braves will begin the postseason on October 4 in a best-of-five series against an undetermined opponent.

The crowd gave a standing ovation to the 26-year old Foltynewicz, who improved to 12-10 on the season. He left the game with a 4-0 lead and runners on first and second base in the seventh.
Arodys Vizcaino closed out the ninth for his 16th save of the season. He got Wilson Ramos to ground out, fanned Roman Quinn and got Maikel Franco to hit a flyball to the outfield.
