Game Preview
The current series stands at 1-1 after the initial two matches were back-and-forth, and Game 3 will be played in Philadelphia instead of Atlanta. The Braves were about to lose both matches at home after falling behind 0-2, but a game-winning 2-run homer in the bottom of the 8th inning prevented that. The Phillies have picked Aaron Nola as their starter for Game 3 while the Braves will be playing with Bryce Elder on the mound.
After the batters went quiet in the initial match, the Braves lost, yet they produced just sufficient in the second one to tie the series. The Braves have only managed 9 hits in both of these games. Ozzie Albies and Austin Riley both have 2 hits. In the Game 2, Riley blasted a home run to put the Braves up. The 2nd match of the series featured a homer by Travis d’Arnaud as well.
