The Philadelphia Phillies were hyper-aggressive during game one of their National League Divisional Series against the Atlanta Braves. They stole bases, Bryce Harper hit a home run in the top of the sixth inning. Coupled with an impressive performance by their bullpen, the Phillies won game one 3-0.
It was the first time the Braves have been shutout at home this season. For added context, the Braves were shutout for the first time at home since August 28, 2021. Additionally, for an offense that slugged over .500, led the majors in runs scored and home runs (307), it was the first time a team that led in each of those categories was shutout in the opening game of the playoffs since the 2001 Seattle Mariners and the 1935 Detroit Tigers, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
