Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images | Kyle Ross-Imagn Images After a dominant win in Game 1, the Atlanta Braves did just enough in Games 2 and 3 to extend their winning streak to five games. Oh, and sweep the Philadelphia Phillies for the first time at Citizens Bank Park since September 2016. In a battle of the best and worst run differentials in the league, the Braves outscored the Phillies 16-3 this series. It began with an inauspicious start for Grant Holmes. A Trea Turner single and then a Kyle Schwarber bomb made it 2-0 in a hurry, doubling the amount of Philly’s runs so far in the series. He’d work around a Harper walk but otherwise emerge unscathed. The Braves tried to respond in kind in the top of the second inning, where Austin Riley and Dom Smith reached via a HBP and a single, respectively. won an ABS challenge on a called strike miles above the zone, but struck out. laced a ball to right but into the glove of , and had a valiant 10-pitch at bat that ended with an ABS-assisted strikeout. Holmes settled down to set down the bottom of the Phillies order in the bottom of the second. The Braves would cut the lead in half via the paternal pop of Michael Harris II, hitting his fourth home run of the year 102 miles per hour to right field. The lineup card turned over, and nothing came from our big boppers. Good news and bad news for Holmes in the bottom of the third – he finally did not walk Harper (yay), but he did allow a single (not yay). But that would be the only damage done. It looked like the Braves were cooking up *something* in the top of the fourth after Austin grounded out to start the inning. An Ozzie walk and Yaz double with Dom Smith up? You could feel CJ Nitkowski gearing up for a Moment. But it wasn’t to be – Dom’s pop out to short and Dubon’s flyout to center left them stranded. Grant was groovin’ in the bottom half of the fourth, only needing eight pitches to set down Marsh, Bohm, and Stott. Michael collected another knock to lead off the top of the fifth, prompting a mound visit and loosening in the Phillies bullpen. Painter’s 84th pitch of the night would be smoked 104 mph for a single by Rob Thomson, not wanting to take any more chances this third time through, lifted his rookie in favor of the lefty Mayza. won a challenge as a batter (!) and reached on a walk, loading the bases for . What ensues is a kind of inning that only happens TO us, never in our favor. But there’s a first time for everything~ Matt tied things up 2-2, reaching on the forceout at second. Austin then drove in another on an infield single. Ozzie followed up with a double to make it 4-2. The rally would die there, with Yaz and Dom both caught looking for strike three. Grant recorded two more outs before departing with Turner at first. His final line was 4.2 innings, four hits, one walk, and four strikeouts, all on 81 pitches. The one real piece of damage was the Schwarber 2-run homer in the first inning. But all things considered, it was encouraging to see Grant really settle down after the first for a solid outing. Speaking of Schwarber, immediately harshed the vibes by allowing a double to Adolis García. But thankfully, he followed it up with quickly getting Harper 0-2 and inducing a groundout. Michael’s very nice night continued with a single off of new reliever , making him 3-3. After a Ronald walk, Mike advanced to third on a Drake flyout but neither would come home to score after struck out Matt. had some trouble finding the zone to start the bottom of the sixth, walking García, and hitting Bohm. But he would lock back in to escape the jam. Backhaus, , and Johnson threw up zeroes, but so did and . The only thing of note would be Michael working a walk (!). entered the bottom of the ninth in his most favorite of situations: one of the save variety. A two run lead facing the bottom of the order? Not dramatic enough, he felt. After a Stott double and Marchán flyout, he would walk nine-hole hitter Crawford to bring us back to the top of the order. Turner struck out to bring Kyle Schwarber to the plate representing the go-ahead run. He would connect with an Iggy changeup to send it rocking 103 mph… into Ronald’s glove in a spectacular running grab. How sweep it is. We’ll see the Phils again on Friday as we kick off our next homestand. But tonight, the Braves will have a happy flight to DC.
