The Kid dealt, the MVP bombed, the bullpen shined, manager Rob Thomson pushed the right buttons, and the Phillies stifled baseball's best offense and stole home-field advantage from the Braves.
For the second year in a row the Phillies stole Game 1of the NL Division Series in Atlanta, this time, 3-0.
That 2-0 lead in the seventh was authored, mostly, by franchise slugger Bryce Harper, who walked and scored in the fourth, then homered in the sixth off Braves ace Spencer Strider. Harper was 1-for-6 in the two wild-card wins Tuesday and Wednesday over the Marlins, whom starters Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola dominated.
If you’ve never smelled the odor of 43,000 people sighing in despair of a ballclub that never fails to disappoint, then you should’ve been at Truist Park on Saturday night when Domínguez struck out their No. 1 and No. 2 hitters. It stank like that stretch of I-95 that runs through southeast Georgia. Later, with two out and a runner on first, Turner fielded a ball to his left. He chose to flip to Bryson Stott at second to force out Ozzie Albies, but the ball seemed to get stuck in his mitt. Second base umpire Mark Carlson called Albies safe, but the Phillies challenged and won.
