ONE FOR FOUR

Atlanta can clinch its fourth consecutive NL East title with a win at home over Philadelphia, which would complete a three-game sweep of their high-stakes series.

Ian Anderson (8-5, 3.60 ERA) pitches for the Braves — the right-hander has no decisions and a 3.09 ERA in four starts against Philadelphia this year. Kyle Gibson (10-8, 3.60) goes for the Phillies, who get eliminated from playoff contention with one more loss or any Atlanta win the rest of the season.

Philadelphia’s biggest bats have gone silent at the worst possible time.
