The Atlanta Braves earned their 100th victory of the season Sunday night by defeating the Washington Nationals 8-5.

Atlanta has won 100 games in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2002-03.

"It's unbelievable," Brian Snitker said. "It's hard to do. I think it's quite an accomplishment anytime you can win 100 games. A lot of things we're doing are really hard. It's taken the whole room in there, that's for sure, to make something like that happen."

The end has officially arrived for this year's New York Yankees.

While a bevy of key injuries and a season's worth of offensive struggles long made it seem that their run of six straight postseason appearances was likely going to be halted, that conclusion mercifully and officially arrived on a Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.

Under a steady, relentless rainfall and amid powerful, gusty winds brought on by nearby Tropical Storm Ophelia, the Yankees lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-1, falling out of contention for the final wild-card spot.

The Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays clinched playoff berths Sunday during the ninth inning of their game when the Texas Rangers lost at the Cleveland Guardians.

The Orioles and Rays are assured of at least wild card berths in the American League.

The Orioles eventually edged the Rays 5-4 in an 11-inning thriller in Baltimore.

Baltimore is postseason-bound for the first time since 2016, while Tampa Bay is in the postseason for the fifth straight year. 

The Atlanta Braves defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 on Wednesday night, clinching the National League East division title in the process.

It is the sixth straight division title for the Braves.

Kirby Yates struck out Brandon Marsh to end the game and the players danced in a mob near the mound at Citizens Bank Park as Phillies fans booed them off the field.

Atlanta (96-50) clinched in 146 games, its second-quickest clinch in the divisional era.

The division title is the Braves' record 26th, two more than the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees.

The Atlanta Braves became the first team to clinch a playoff berth, rallying to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2 on Sunday as Matt Olson went 2-for-3 with three RBIs.

Atlanta (93-49) reached the postseason for the sixth straight year, the second-longest streak in franchise history. The Braves won 11 straight NL East titles from 1995 to 2005.

Louis Lappe hit a walk-off homer and California beat Curacao 6-5 in the Little League Baseball World Series championship Sunday, despite giving up a four-run lead.

Louis flipped his bat and threw his arms in the air as he trotted around the bases, leaping onto home plate as he was greeted by his teammates surrounding the batter's box. The leadoff hitter in the bottom of the sixth inning, Louis lofted the second pitch he saw just beyond the left field fence.

The Kansas City Royals unveiled plans for two dramatically different locations for a replacement to the aging Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday, calling them on equal footing even as the team-issued date for a decision looms next month.

Matt Manning wasn't upset about being pulled while pitching a no-hitter.

He said he didn't even realize it until someone told him in the dugout.

"I had no idea," he said. "I was like, 'well, dang,'"

By the time the game was over, everyone at Comerica Park knew what Manning and relievers Jason Foley and Alex Lange had achieved.

Foley and Lange finished what Manning started, and the Tigers no-hit the Toronto Blue Jays in a 2-0 win on Saturday.

Domingo German authored a perfect game against the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night, as the New York Yankees starter allowed no hits and no walks on 99 pitches in an 11-0 victory.

In an up-and-down season that has included a suspension, and a sub-.500 record headed into Wednesday's start, German was masterful against the last-place Athletics, mixing his pitches, keeping his defense busy and engaged, and posting nine strikeouts along the way.

Mike Trout hit his 17th home run of the season, one of five long balls and a franchise-record 28 hits Saturday night, as the Los Angeles Angels authored a historic 25-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field.

Los Angeles' run total is a franchise record, and the 24-run differential is the largest win in Major League Baseball since the Texas Rangers defeated the Baltimore Orioles by 27 runs in 2007, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
