Tyler Mahle Braves Abdominal Pull in Stellar Postseason Start

Atlanta Braves right-hander Tyler Mahle battled a pregame abdominal pull to deliver seven strong innings in a 1-0 Game 2 loss to Philadelphia, sending the NL Wild Card series to a decisive Game 3. Manager Walt Weiss revealed Mahle was a game-time decision after sustaining the injury in the bullpen. Mahle permitted just one run on six hits with six strikeouts and a walk, capping a strong two-month stretch following his acquisition at the trade deadline.
