Phillies 2, Braves 1

The Braves were limited to 4 hits as the Phillies sweep the series 3 – 0.

Philadelphia opened the scoring in the bottom of the 2nd, as Andrew Knapp hit his first home run of 2021. If history is any indication, he will hit another one before the year is out.

Zach Eflin shut down the Braves until the 7th, when Travis d’Arnaud hit his first homer of the season. Eflin went 7, allowing 4 hits and a walk, and struck out 8. Per tradition, the Braves bullpen had to cover a few more innings than that, but Ian Anderson was effective in the 5 innings he lasted.
