Ronald Acuña Jr. had three hits for the NL East champions, including a run-scoring double in the fifth.
After winning Wednesday’s series opener 1-0 in 13 innings, Atlanta broke open Game 2 on two-run homers by Marcell Ozuna and Adam Duvall off Raisel Iglesias in the eighth.
Atlanta will face Miami or the Chicago Cubs in the NL Division Series in Houston.
