Phillies aim for rare sweep against Braves

The Philadelphia Phillies will be looking for their first three-game sweep of the Atlanta Braves in two years when they host the series finale on Sunday afternoon.

The Phillies won their second straight game against Atlanta, 4-0 on Saturday, to close in their first sweep of the Braves since March 28-31, 2019. The two National League East rivals split 10 games in 2020, and the Phillies have won five of the past six meetings.

Philadelphia will send right-hander Zach Eflin to the mound to face Atlanta right-hander Ian Anderson.

Eflin made 10 starts last season and went 4-2 with a 3.
