Phillies bats explode, get help from missed call in win over Braves

Final Score: Phillies 7, Braves 6

Fredde Freeman and Ronald Acuña Jr. both homered for the Atlanta Braves Sunday evening, but it was the Philadelphia Phillies bats (and the help of a controversial call) that propelled them a victory on the national stage.

Top Plays

  • After the Phillies saw just eight pitches in the top of the first inning, the Braves immediately jumped on Matt Moore. Ronald Acuña Jr. beat out what should have been a relatively easy ground ball for Didi Gregorius, which Ozzie Albies followed with an opposite-field home run:
  • Later in the inning, Dansby Swanson plated Travis d’Arnaud with an RBI single, extending the Braves lead to 3-0.
