Phillies' $300 million men shine in multiple ways to beat Braves

It was by far the play of the game, as Trea Turner turned an unreal double play to end the 8th inning as the Braves were gaining a little momentum.‘Whoa, that was really cool!' — Phillies react to Trea's unbelievable play originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

ATLANTA — Spencer Strider had been 8-0 with a 1.90 ERA in eight regular-season games against the Phillies.

Merrill Kelly had been 0-11 with a 5.49 ERA in his career against the Dodgers.

Naturally, the Phillies and Diamondbacks each won Game 1 of their NLDS matchup on the road, the Phils doing just enough against Strider in a 3-0 win and the D-backs bum-rushing an unhealthy Clayton Kershaw en route to an 11-2 romp.
