Overview
- The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 4-3 in 10 innings Wednesday to even the best‑of‑three NL Wild Card series at 1-1.
- Bryce Harper misplayed a late fly that allowed the Braves to take the lead, then hit a solo home run in the top of the eighth to tie the game after a pep talk from teammate Cristopher Sanchez.
- Alec Bohm delivered the 10th‑inning walk‑off homer that put the Phillies ahead, and rookie reliever Andrew Painter worked three scoreless innings to close out the win.
- Starter Cristopher Sanchez struggled earlier in the game, allowing three runs on six hits with five walks before being lifted, which forced the Phillies to rely on their bullpen for extended innings.
- Game 3 is a winner‑take‑all at Truist Park and will hinge on which starters and relievers are available for both clubs, a factor that could shape who advances to the NL Division Series and influence the postseason fate of veterans like Harper.
