ATLANTA — Max Fried pitched seven strong innings and the Atlanta Braves beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1. Atlanta remained tied with the Mets for the final NL wild-card spot. Fried (9-8) had command of the plate all night, striking out eight and allowing just five hits. Toronto's lone run was unearned, coming in the third inning on an Atlanta error. It marked the 25th straight game Atlanta pitchers have allowed three runs or fewer, the longest such streak in baseball this season and the longest in Braves franchise history. Raisel Iglesias pitched out of trouble in the ninth for his 31st save in 34 opportunities, extending his scoreless streak to 24 1/3 innings. Kevin Gausman took the loss for Toronto, dropping to 12-11.
