"The final week of the 2025 season saw the Atlanta Braves win three and lose three to finish the disappointing campaign 76-86, but Sunday was a reminder that despite it all, baseball really is the best. The last couple of weeks were more fun that much of the season was, with Atlanta winning 11 out of 14 games - including a 10-game winning streak - and finishing the year on an emotional high."
"Morton's history with the Braves is well chronicled, and his first start for Atlanta this season, led to a wonderful moment after getting the strikeout o his legendary curveball, Morton was lifted for fellow starter Chris Sale, which can be seen below. For the rest of the Braves players, closer Raisel Igelsias got the save in what might be his last turn as Atlanta's closer. It was his second of the week and 29th on the season."
"Earlier in the week Hurston Waldrep had a nice final start and reliever/spot-starter José Suarez also worked a couple of games and picked up a three-inning save. On the position player side, Drake Baldwin finished the season strong and maybe, just maybe, did enough to win the National League Rookie of the Year. Ronald Acuña, Jr. was outstanding with a 1.346 OPS including three home runs in his eight hits and added six walks; he also drove in five and scored five times."
