ATLANTA _ For the second time in three seasons at SunTrust Park, the Braves' home schedule won't end with their final homestand.
The Braves lost their final home game, 4-1, to the Giants on Sunday afternoon. They finished 50-31 at home, their first time winning 50 at home since 2003.
But that isn't a wrap on SunTrust Park's third season quite yet. The Braves will host the first two games of the NLDS _ and potentially the fifth _ beginning Oct. 3.
Sunday's result won't damper the weekend. The Braves clinched the National League East (and homefield in the NLDS) on Friday. Manager Brian Snitker took his foot off the gas, resting some regulars Saturday and Sunday.
The offense didn't provide any support for left-hander Dallas Keuchel. The veteran, who will likely start one of the first two games in the NLDS, pitched five scoreless frames before the Giants struck for three in the sixth.
Adeiny Hechavarria, who's been exceptional depth since joining the team last month, tripled in the seventh and scored on Freddie Freeman's grounder, representing the Braves' only run.
The Braves have five games remaining before the postseason. They'll have Monday and Thursday off, with two games in Kansas City sandwiches in between. They finish the season with three in New York.
