Atlanta one win from ending Phillies’ season in wild-card series
ESPN’s live coverage lists four Game 2 matchups, with Philadelphia, Houston, Boston and Chicago’s Cubs trying to force deciding games.
Atlanta heads into Game 2 with a chance to eliminate Philadelphia after taking the opener 5–3. Austin Riley’s three-run homer in the eighth inning secured the Braves’ comeback win in the best-of-three series.
ESPN lists Cristopher Sanchez as Philadelphia’s starter and Tyler Mahle for Atlanta. Its report also provides projected lineups and live updates as the games unfold; it does not report Game 2 results.
The other matchups are the Chicago White Sox against Houston, Boston against the New York Yankees, and the Chicago Cubs against San Diego. The Astros, Red Sox and Cubs, like the Phillies, entered Game 2 trailing 0–1.
Houston’s listed starters are Sean Burke and Hunter Brown; Boston and New York are set to start Sonny Gray and Max Fried, while Kevin Gausman and Nick Pivetta are listed for the Cubs and Padres. ESPN’s coverage outlines what the trailing sides need to do to extend their series.
