Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said the team’s explosive offense was “stifled” Thursday night.
There was an instant, as the ball soared off the bat of Ronald Acuña Jr. toward centerfield, when the 45,831 fans at Citizens Bank Park fell silent. The Phillies led by two in the top of the seventh with two outs and the bases loaded, seven outs from the National League Championship Series, and the whole thing seemed to hang in the balance as the ball hung in the air. Then the crowd roared to life as it dropped, as so many Atlanta attempts have this series, into a Phillies’ glove.
It was a memorable line from a series stuffed with them, most notably Atlanta shortstop Orlando Arcia’s clubhouse taunt of Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper after Game 2, an Atlanta win, ended with Harper doubled off first base. “Attaboy, Harper,” he yelled afterward.
