"The Atlanta Braves ended their season on a high note by winning 11 of their last 14 games to close it out. They also closed it out on an emotional high as they sent Charlie Morton into retirement in an incredibly classy way. They also made sure to avoid getting swept by the Pirates in order to ensure that Morton's final day in the sun as a big leaguer wasn't in the midst of a losing effort."
"The Braves got no help from the A's, who got dominated by the Royals to finish off their season. Sacramento didn't score until the eighth inning but by then, it was already 9-0 as Kansas City had essentially blitzed the A's out of town at that point. Carter Jensen and Michael Massey only had two RBIs between them but Jensen had three hits and Massey collected four knocks and they were the engine that helped fuel a win for the Royals."
"Jordan Westburg and Gunnar Henderson actually hit back-to-back homers in the fourth inning to give the O's the lead in this one but the Yankees tied it up the first chance they got. Ben Rice's second homer of the day was a dramatic dinger that he cracked in the eighth inning that put the Yanks ahead so that they could at least go into the Postseason knowing that they did what they could."
