Alec Bohm’s solo home run in the 10th inning gave the Philadelphia Phillies a 4–3 win over the Atlanta Braves in Game 2 of their Wild Card series, setting up a deciding game.

The win leaves the best-of-three series tied 1–1, with Game 3 to determine which team advances.

Philadelphia had trailed 3–1 before Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper hit consecutive home runs to level the score. The supplied Yahoo Sports report places the Braves’ two-run lead in the eighth inning.

Atlanta starter Tyler Mahle allowed one run over more than seven innings, according to the report. Didier Fuentes gave up Bohm’s go-ahead homer in the 10th.
