This is what the Postseason is all about. The first hit by the Atlanta Braves came in the bottom of the sixth with two outs, the Philadelphia Phillies won seven innings and it was the home team who took the 5-4 victory to tie the Division Series.
The Quakers struck in the first inning when Trea Turner doubled and was driven in with a single by Alec Bohm. JT Realmuto extended the lead in the third with a two-run homer and in the fifth Nick Castellanos drove in another with a sacrifice fly.
While his slugging responded, Zack Wheeler dominated the best offense of the regular round at will. The Phillies starter did not allow hits until the sixth, when with two outs Ozzie Albies hit with Ronald Acuña Jr, on base (walk); The Venezuelan reached third and scored on an error by shortstop Trea Turner.
In the seventh Matt Olson had the second hit for his team and after one out, Matt Olson homered to make the game 4-3. Venezuelan José Alvarado came in to put out the fire and worked for one inning, striking out two.
Having Acuña Jr in circulation is a danger for the rival. The Creole was hit and advanced to second on Albies’ groundout. Next, Austin Riley caught a breaking pitch from Jeff Hoffman to deposit the ball into the left stands and turn the game around.
As there is never enough drama, Bryce Harper led off the ninth with a walk. Realmuto flew out and Nick Castellanos was the victim of an incredible catch by Michael Harris II against the center field wall, which ended in a double play to end the game.
In this way, the Braves tied the key and will now travel to Citizen Bank Park to continue the dispute on Wednesday.
