What happened: Fuentes pitched Sunday for Atlanta in a postseason game. He worked in relief to retire 11 consecutive batters.

Why it matters: The run is the longest by a reliever 21 or younger in MLB postseason history. It gives Atlanta a proven late-game bridge arm with October matchups tightening.

By the numbers: 11 consecutive batters retired Sunday; longest streak by a reliever age 21 or younger in a postseason game in MLB history.

What to watch: Atlanta continues its postseason slate Tuesday against Los Angeles at Truist Park.
