Phillies and Braves face winner-take-all Game 3
Philadelphia levelled the wild-card series with a 4–3 extra-innings win; Aaron Nola and Ray Kerr are named to start the decider.
The Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves meet in a winner-take-all Game 3 after Philadelphia’s 4–3 win in 10 innings levelled their National League wild-card series at one game apiece.
The decisive game is scheduled for Thursday at 8 p.m. ET at Truist Park in Atlanta. Aaron Nola is named to start for Philadelphia, while Atlanta will open with left-handed reliever Ray Kerr.
In Game 2, Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper hit consecutive home runs in the eighth inning to tie the score at 3–3. Alec Bohm’s solo home run in the 10th put Philadelphia ahead.
The winner advances to the National League Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Atlanta could turn to Grant Holmes after Kerr, while Philadelphia could use Zack Wheeler in relief; neither move is confirmed.
