Trea Turner’s 10th-Inning Single Walks Off Braves as Phillies Win 3-2

The victory extended Philadelphia’s streak to three, restoring a six-game NL East lead according to local reports.

Overview

  • Down 0-2 with two outs and the bases loaded, Turner lined a 94 mph fastball from Dylan Dodd to right to score Alec Bohm and Nick Castellanos.
  • Atlanta had taken a 2-1 lead in the top of the 10th on Nacho Alvarez Jr.’s RBI single before failing to tack on with two flyouts.
  • In his first start since a fractured left rib on June 18, Chris Sale struck out nine and allowed three hits over six innings, giving up only a Weston Wilson homer.
  • Phillies starter Cristopher Sánchez went seven innings with eight strikeouts and one run allowed, lowering his ERA to 2.66 as both teams defended well.
  • Matt Strahm earned the win after yielding only Alvarez’s hit in extras, with Sunday’s finale set for Hurston Waldrep versus Jesús Luzardo as Philadelphia chases a sweep.
