Braves fans react after extra inning playoff heartbreak
The Philadelphia Phillies hit timely home runs in extra innings to defeat the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park, forcing a decisive Game 3 in the postseason series.
ATLANTA - The Atlanta Braves saw their late-game advantage vanish Wednesday afternoon as Alec Bohm hit a go-ahead solo home run in the top of the 10th inning, handing the Philadelphia Phillies a 4-3 victory at Truist Park and forcing a deciding Game 3 in their National League Wild Card Series.
Braves Truist Park battle
What we know:
Bohm sent a 1-1 pitch from Atlanta reliever Didlier Fuentes into the right-field seats with the score tied 3-3 in extras to give Philadelphia the win. Atlanta surrendered 12 hits on the day and went scoreless over the final three innings after securing a 5-3 win in Game 1. Philadelphia launched its winning push in the ninth inning when Edmundo Sosa hit an infield single off Raisel Iglesias, though Sosa left the game after limping to first base with an apparent leg injury.
Atlanta bullpen collapse
What we don't know:
It remains unclear how the Atlanta bullpen will regroup for Thursday's elimination game after Dylan Lee gave up back-to-back home runs to Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper in the top of the eighth inning. Schwarber launched a 447-foot solo shot to right field before Harper followed on the very next pitch to erase a 2-1 Braves lead. Team officials have also not given an update on Sosa's status for the series decider.
