Atlanta Braves clinch 7th NL East title in 9 years
The Atlanta Braves have secured their seventh NL East championship in nine years, defeating the Astros 4-2 on Sunday. Mike Yastrzemski contributed with a three-run homer in the fourth inning, which put the Braves ahead. The victory marked a significant turnaround for the team, which had missed the playoffs and finished fourth in the division just the previous season.
Manager Walt Weiss, in his first year with the Braves, led the team to a resurgence, ending a seven-year postseason drought that began in 2018. The team's success is evident in their 24 division titles, tying them with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the most in the modern era. The Braves have won the NL East 19 times in 32 seasons, boasting the third-best record in the National League at 92-64.
