Raisel Iglesias secured his 27th save of the season by pitching a flawless ninth inning against the Phillies.


While Iglesias was credited with the save, the Braves' bullpen as a whole delivered an outstanding performance to secure the victory in this game. Following Reynaldo López's departure after five innings, Grant Holmes, Joe Jiménez, and Iglesias worked together to retire all 12 batters they faced and collectively struck out three batters over four innings. Iglesias has successfully converted his last 18 save opportunities, maintaining an impressive streak of 19 appearances (22 innings) without conceding an earned run, allowing only four hits and two walks during that period. At 34 years old, Iglesias has capitalized on 27 out of 29 save chances this season, while also reducing his ERA to an exceptional 1.48, accompanied by a 0.64 WHIP and an impressive 46:8 K:BB ratio across 48.2 innings.




 

In Tuesday's victory against the Marlins, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run.


After Miami narrowed the lead to 2-1 in the fifth inning, Gurriel responded in the following half inning with a solo homer to extend the lead to two runs. This marked his 15th home run of the season, breaking a 17-game streak without a long ball. Gurriel, who sat out one game due to a hamstring injury last week, has gone 8-for-27 (.296) with three RBIs and five runs scored in the seven games since then.




 

Jorge Soler was out of the Braves starting lineup for a fifth straight game Tuesday because of his left hamstring strain.


Nevertheless, Jorge Soler entered the game as a pinch hitter and managed to draw a walk. According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, Soler expressed on Tuesday that he believes he will be prepared to play by Friday. Despite being out of action since August 14 because of a strained left hamstring, Atlanta decided against placing him on the injured list, anticipating a quick comeback. A definitive timeline for his full recovery has now been set, and Soler is looking forward to participating in Friday's series opener against Washington.


 

Cionel Pérez and Yennier Cano teamed up to pitch two scoreless innings.


In Tuesday's game against the Mets, Cionel Pérez and Yennier Cano combined for two scoreless innings in a 9-5 victory. Both pitchers had flawless performances, with Cionel striking out two batters and Cano striking out one, and earning his 29th hold of the season. Cionel has a 4.02 ERA in 46 games this year, recording 36 strikeouts in 40 1/3 innings, along with two saves and 17 holds. Meanwhile, Cano boasts a 2.86 ERA in 58 games, with 49 strikeouts in 50 1/3 innings, a 4-2 record, as well as 5 saves and 29 holds.


 

The Nationals have sent RHP Orlando Ribalta down to Triple-A Rochester.


Orlando Ribalta gave up three runs in his two outings for the Nationals.
