The Atlanta Braves began the four-game set with the division rival Philadelphia Phillies on a high note after taking the series opener 8-5. Dylan Dodd earned the start for the Braves, and between a few missed spots by Dodd and several big swings by the Phillies, this game was a back-and-forth affair.
Each team had racked up five runs through seven innings. But in the bottom of the eighth, the Braves bats came up huge. After an Ozzie Albies single, a ground-rule double by Marcell Ozuna, and a walk issued to Orlando Arcia, the sacks were full for Michael Harris II.
