The Braves defeat the Marlins 4-1 to reduce their magic number in the NL Wild Card race. They trailed 1-0 until the seventh when they tied the game at one, then Alex Gonzalez launched a three-run homer for the final score. Randall Delgado pitched decently for five innings, but the four Braves relievers each posted a perfect inning as the bullpen combined for five strikeouts and the win. Atlanta’s pen lowers its ERA to 2.91.

The Braves keep the pressure on St. Louis, who lead the Pirates 3-2 in the eighth inning.
