WASHINGTON (AP) — Ronald Acuña Jr. ignited a four-run rally with the go-ahead, two-run double, and the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves clinched a playoff berth with a 10-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Saturday.Acuña's double down the left-field line off reliever Fernando Rodney added fuel to a dramatic seventh inning for the Braves (93-57), who reduced their magic number to four to clinch their 19th division title.Earlier in the seventh, Charlie Culberson was struck directly on the right cheekbone by a 91-mph fastball on Rodney's first pitch of the game.Culberson remained on his back for several minutes as trainers pressed a towel to his face. He was eventually helped to his feet and onto the back of a cart.The Braves have won the last 11 games started by Mike Foltynewicz (7-5), who pitched six solid innings.Wander Suero (5-8) was charged with the loss as the Washington bullpen gave up nine runs over the final four innings. The Nationals saw their lead in the NL wild card race... [More]

DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Rockies have recalled right-handed pitcher Jesus Tinoco from Triple-A Albuquerque and have optioned infielder Brendan Rodgers to the Isotopes.Rodgers was the organization's top prospect when he was recalled May 17. He made his major league debut that night against Philadelphia, and he got his first hit against the Phillies the next day. He had a three-hit game against Pittsburgh on May 22.Rodgers, 22, batted .246 in 35 games and struck out 22 times in 70 plate appearances. He is hitting just .161 in 10 games in June.This is the second call-up for Tinoco and it comes a day after the Rockies depleted their bullpen in a 12-inning loss to San Diego. Colorado blew a six-run lead in the ninth and used eight relievers in the game, which took 5 hours, 4 minutes to play.Tinoco tossed one scoreless inning against Toronto in his major league debut on June 2. It was his only appearance before being optioned to Triple-A.

DENVER (AP) — Kyle Freeland thinks he has lost his direction on the mound.So while the Colorado Rockies left-hander said it "stinks" that he's been demoted to Triple-A Albuquerque, he's keeping his mind open as he refines his mechanics.Freeland is 2-6 with a 7.13 ERA this season and nowhere near the form he displayed last year, when he finished fourth in NL Cy Young Award voting.Really, though, he's not trying to return to that version."However I come back, that's going to be the person I'm going to be," Freeland said Friday in the dugout shortly after being optioned. "I'm not trying to repeat what I did last year. That's kind of out the window at this point. I'm going to go down, learn — learn even more about this game and come back a better person, better athlete, better pitcher."The 26-year-old Denver native welcomed the chance to work on specific aspects of his game out of the big league spotlight. He said he's not sure how many starts it might take to turn things around, but has a... [More]

DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Rockies are sending left-hander Kyle Freeland to Triple-A Albuquerque to work on his mechanics after a rough start to the season.Freeland is 2-6 with a 7.13 ERA and nowhere near the form he displayed a season ago, when he finished fourth in NL Cy Young Award voting.The 26-year-old Freeland said it "stinks" that he must return to the minors, but welcomed the chance to work on aspects of his game out of the big-league spotlight. He said he's not sure how many starts it might take to turn things around.In other moves, the Rockies reinstated lefty Chris Rusin (strained back) from the 10-day injured list, recalled righty Jesus Tinoco from Albuquerque and optioned outfielder Yonathan Daza to Triple-A.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
