⚾⚾PHILLIES: “That was a big play in the game,” Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. “He was the player of the game, no doubt. Four RBIs and a catch that probably saved the game.”
The loss hurt in the wild-card standings.
“We’ve got a tough schedule but we’ve got to battle through it,” Thomson said. “I love the fight the club showed tonight. We kept grinding away. Harper hit the ball hard three times.The Phils will try to salvage one game in this series Sunday afternoon, but it won’t be easy. The Braves will send rookie sensation Spencer Strider to the mound. He has beaten the Phils three times in as many starts this season and allowed just two runs while striking out 24 in 15 1/3 innings.
Before leaving the game, Albies drew a four-pitch walk from Nola in the bottom of the third inning. Two batters later, Acuna hit a first-pitch fastball from Nola into the right field seats to give the Braves a 2-0 lead.
