ATLANTA (AP) — Travis d’Arnaud hit a home run in the ninth inning and the Atlanta Braves kept up their postseason push with a 2-1 win over the playoff-bound Kansas City Royals. Reynaldo López came off the injured list to throw six strong innings for the Braves, who moved one game ahead of the New York Mets and the Arizona Diamondbacks in the race for the final two wild-card spots in the National League. The Mets lost 6-0 at Milwaukee and the Diamondbacks were blanked 5-0 by San Diego. D’Arnaud ended it with one swing in the ninth, launching a 2-0 pitch from Sam Long over the center-field wall.
