After a blowout loss in Game 3, the Atlanta Braves have their backs against the wall against the Philadelphia Phillies in the Division Series. The game started well enough for the Braves who made the late decision to go with Bryce Elder as their starter Wednesday night. Atlanta jumped out to a 1-0 lead as Elder retired the first six hitters he faced.
The thinking coming in to Game 3 was that Elder might turn the lineup over at most twice and no matter what, he would be on a short leash. Things turned quickly in the third inning when Nick Castellanos hit a solo home run to lead off the inning.
