ATLANTA — Spencer Horwitz homered twice among his four hits, José Berríos pitched six effective innings and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Atlanta 9-5 to knock the Braves out of the final NL wild-card spot. The Braves fell one game behind the Mets with New York's 4-0 win over Cincinnati. Berríos (15-9) allowed one earned run and five hits to set a career high for wins. Horwitz had his second career multi-homer game, opening the scoring with a solo shot in the second inning and then hitting another in the fourth to make it 2-0. He finished 4 for 5 with three RBIs. Braves starter Spencer Schwellenbach (6-6) gave up six runs — three earned — and 10 hits in five innings. It ended a run of 25 straight games in which Atlanta's pitching staff allowed three runs or fewer.
