ATLANTA (AP) — A guy who spent most of the season in the minors kept the Braves in it.

Dansby Swanson and pinch-hitter Jorge Soler hit back-to-back homers in the seventh inning, propelling the Braves to a 3-2 victory over the Houston Astros.
Atlanta now has a commanding three games to one lead and can wrap up the title Sunday night.
Braves WIN!

A huge shoutout goes to Kyle Wright, who provided 4 2/3 gritty innings out of the bullpen.
