Giancarlo Stanton finished the season with 59 home runs and became the first Marlins player to ever lead the National League with the most runs batted in for a season as he compiled 132.
Dee Gordon won the Major League Baseball stolen base title for the second time in three seasons as he had 60. Ichiro Suzuki fell one hit short of the all-time record for pinch hits in one season with 27.

Ozuna would tie the game 3-3 when Dansby Swanson made a throwing error toward second and the ball wound up down the right-field line. Yelich then scored the go-ahead run to make it 4-3 when J.T. Realmuto grounded out to short.
The Braves responded and evened it up 4-4 in the sixth. Albies grounded out to second and Swanson crossed the plate.
Both clubs hit the scoreboard in the seventh inning. Swanson singled to center field which brought in Markakis. The Bravos made it 8-4 on a three-run home run by Adonis Garcia to center field on a 2-1 pitch.
