Overview

  • Kyle Schwarber hit four home runs as Philadelphia beat Atlanta 19-4 on Thursday at Citizens Bank Park to open a four-game set.
  • The victory lifted the Phillies to 77-57 overall with a 43-22 home mark and a 6-4 lead in the season series.
  • Atlanta dropped to 61-73 and 28-40 on the road after arriving with momentum from two lopsided wins over Miami.
  • Aaron Nola started for the Phillies against Cal Quantrill for the Braves, aligning with the pregame probables.
  • Rotation uncertainty persists for Philadelphia, with Zack Wheeler listed on the 15-day injured list for a blood clot after earlier reports suggested a season-ending diagnosis.
