Tyler Mahle Preps for Postseason After Final Regular-Season Start

Atlanta Braves trade deadline acquisition Tyler Mahle made his final regular-season tune-up start against Cincinnati, surrendering five runs over five innings in a 7-6 loss. Despite his worst outing since joining Atlanta, he got through the night healthy and is expected to pitch Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Round. Mahle has been dominant overall, carrying an 8-start 1.28 ERA with 44 strikeouts over 49 innings to boost his stock as a pending free agent.
