Atlanta Braves' Matt Olson rounds the bases after hitting a three-run home run against Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Michael Lorenzen during the third inning of the second baseball game in a doubleheader, Monday, Sept. 11, 2023, in Philadelphia. Kevin Pillar and Orlando Arcia each had run-scoring hits in the 10th off José Alvarado in the first game. The Braves needed extras after Bryce Harper tied the game with a two-out, two-run homer in the ninth.
