UNDATED (AP) — The Atlanta Braves have wrapped up their fourth NL East title and the Houston Astros have claimed their fourth AL West crown in five years. Jorge Soler (HOHR’-hay soh-LEHR’) and Austin Riley hit solo homers and Ian Anderson carried a shutout into the seventh inning of the Braves’ 5-3 victory over Philadelphia. The Astros pulled out a 3-2 win over Tampa Bay on Carlos Correa’s three-run homer in the fourth inning.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clayton Kershaw starts at Dodger Stadium against Milwaukee tonight to begin a season-ending, three-game series in a possible playoff preview. Christian Yelich (YEH’-lihch) and the Brewers already have clinched the NL Central. Max Muncy and Los Angeles are assured at least a wild-card spot. They’re trying to overtake San Francisco in the NL West. Kershaw is 1-1 in three starts since missing more than two months with inflammation in his left forearm. Lefty Eric Lauer starts for Milwaukee. He’s 6-0 with a 1.89 ERA in eight career starts against the Dodgers.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Yankees enter the final weekend of the regular season jostling for a playoff spot with several stars on the mend. First baseman Luke Voit went on the 10-day injured list yesterday with a sore left knee. Infielder DJ LeMahieu (leh-MAY’-hyoo) was lifted in the sixth inning of last night’s 6-2 win over the Blue Jays with hip soreness. Outfielder Joey Gallo didn’t start last night’s game after being hit by a pitch on the left forearm a day earlier. New York opens a three-game series in the Bronx against the AL East-champion Rays with a two-game wild-card lead over Boston, and Seattle and Toronto three games back. The Yankees’ magic number to clinch a postseason spot is two.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Shohei Ohtani (SHOH’-hay oh-TAH’-nee) has already hit 100 mph with his fastball. Now, he needs one more RBI to reach 100. The Angels’ two-way sensation got his 99th RBI with his AL-leading eighth triple in last night’s 7-6 loss to Texas. Ohtani has 45 home runs, has scored 101 times and is batting .259 going into a season-ending, three-game series at Seattle. A leading candidate for the AL MVP, Ohtani is done pitching for the season.

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals are 3-1 after Evan McPherson drilled a 35-yard field goal as time expired to give them a 24-21 win over Jacksonville. Joe Burrow passed for 348 yards and two touchdowns to help the Bengals overcome a 14-0 halftime deficit. Burrow, the top overall draft pick in 2020 outdueled the 2021 top pick, Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The Jaguars fell to 0-4, spoiling coach Urban Meyer’s return to Ohio, where he coached Burrow at Ohio State.
