After scoring one (1) run total during the first two games of the series, the Atlanta bats put together a 14-hit, 6-run performance on Saturday afternoon in a 6-3 defeat of the Philadelphia Phillies. With the win, which was Kyle Wright’s 20th of the season, the Braves snapped a three-game losing skid and improved to 94-58 on the year, while the Phillies dropped to 83-68.
On the mound, Wright did not allow a hit until the sixth inning, and the only Philadelphia baserunners that reached before then did so courtesy of a pair of two-out walks and an error by Austin Riley, who was playing first base in place of Matt Olson (that is, until the everyday first baseman entered as part of a defensive adjustment in the eighth).
