Phillies vs. Braves Game Highlights (8/21/24) | MLB Highlights

so last night Zack Wheeler was really good Ronaldo Lopez was really good tonight we've got another good pitching matchup guys that know each other well in Max freed against Aron NOA great match up Max freed obviously he's pitched a bunch of times against the Phillies and the Phillies know him well he's got a big opponent in Aaron NOA tonight so no doubt he will be up for the challenge and Max Freed's curveball and change up have been great all season long as suspect we'll see a bunch of those here tonight Kyle schwarber so far in this series 0 for five with five strikeouts that's the thing of Bey right there with the breaking ball from Max freed this is the curveball the slower of the two I mentioned the curveball change up had been really good and think it's Kyle schworer way out front one down as Trey Turner comes up to the plate Trey Turner on a couple of bounces to the new guy Gio orella makes the throw two away let kick in the 3-2 and a big ground ball to the right side to his left gloving from shallow right Maryfield and a running toss over to the bag in time to get Harper that's a very nice play by Whit marfield and down go the Phillies 1 2 three and if you're picking up from last night that's 20 in a row set down by Braves pitching Harris against Aaron Nova yeah hard to believe it's a 36th start for Aaron Nola Atlanta bre really incredible 36 starts ground ball softly left side B was shaded that way and just barely throws him out one out so wh Mar field got a triple directly down the right field line last night then he doubled directly down the left field line marfield on this one is stopped by Sosa but he beats it out hustling down the line it's a single for Whit well Whit marfield now has three hits in the series against the Phillies here's Marcel Ozuna Fly ball center field it's going back ways but Roos has it lined up and he makes the catch and it'll bring up Matt Olsen noo the stretch with the pitch bouncer towards first Harper fields on one hop steps on the bag sides retired one down for Nick castios two two cutter is a good one castanos is down on strikes Max freed hoping for another one two three inning 3-1 big bouncer to short taken on the second H friendly bounce chest High RC has got it throws over to first base and that's another one two three inning for Max freed he has two of those in the ball game put a lead off single there's Jared Kellick bouncer right side they'll at least get the lead Runner good play by Turner to hang on to the bag and Ramone laurano coming up first scoring chance of the night or Atlanta here in a scoreless game breaking ball swing and a miss he got him big strike out there of luran stranding a runner at second and that'll do it for the Braves we'll go to the third stock it's time for a hit what do you think I think you're exactly right swung on and ripped up the middle there's a base hit thank you very much Weston Wilson who just continues to produce in the rare opportunities he has been given Weston Wilson High Point North Carolina native down at first base here's edmundo Sosa Ella marfield Olson two away that's another good thing about Max fre he can get a ground ball with the best of them and with two down Roos checks in and the one-w pitch adios Migo got him with a sinker he goes down looking three strikeouts for freed we head to the bottom of the third inning no score there's a two out walk to mfield and that will bring Marcelo Zuna to the plate who hit one of the warning track in center field back in the first inning and he laces that two seamer out into left field for a base hit yeah it's really pick your poison right now because he is hitting everything ball four and the bases are loaded with Shawn Murphy coming up the 02 check swing little roller back to NOA he's got it waits on Harper to arrive at the bag he'll throw over and that'll do it for the Braves threat here in the third three for his last 22 for Kyle left side base hit that's a good job by Kyle schwarber going to the other way it's last time the Phillies had a man at first base the next man hit into 543 Double Play here's great Turner that ball is fair to Second for one oh man whated that one would have been just a sensational 543 double play see if the Braves want to review it oh they do wow those are three great plays or Shel then Mary build on the turn and then olssen on that scoop at first base Matt olssen went down and got this one out of the dirt did he get it before the foot was on the bag I believe he did Wow first wow wow that is so close I mean I thought they had no chance of turning that with Turner quite honestly 100% the call the field is overturn the runners out nice at their challenge that is such a tough double play to turn credit orella again the two- two pitch and Harper is history there swings and misses on a curve ball beautiful curve by freed executed perfectly lead off single for Kellick Aria to the plate oh for one with a ground out Orlando Aria hits this deep to left field at the wall it is gone Orlando Ria later two to nothing braavos there's no doubt that Ria and Phillies and RC and Harper have a history so this is what happened after hit the Home Run looks for Harper oh very interesting got to do it in the postseason reach on the way to Gio orella out get down it will there's his first hit in a Braves uniform giio orella with a one out single Here Comes Philly killer with marfield pitch swing and a weekly hit ground ball to short Turner scoops thrs on the run it's in time and on the money that'll do it for the Braves real Muto at first Wes Wilson stands in grounded left side to Hopper Ella has it long throw across got him and the inning is over ph's down two nothing and it'll be the middle third of the order for the Braves here Ozuna Olen and Murphy coming up against Daren Nola the onew pitch on the way and that's in there for a call third strike Ozuna caught looking and there's one away the one-w pitch strike three called got him that's four strikeouts for Nola boy as he put together a couple of great sequences against two of their best hitters right-handers pitch swing in a Miss struck him out he does strike out the side Max freed hard not to like that CJ the bounce back has been real in this one he is look solid here all night he has been aggressive in the zone he has been efficient third time the night the Phillies have had their lead off man on every time it's resulted in a double play ball a tough guy to double up here in Johan roas there's a liner out toward left field Kellick going back it's over his head a one Hop Off the Wall sers to third he'll hold up there it's a double for Johan Roos the Phillies have second and third with nobody out well that'll bring up Kyle schwarber he's one for two tonight and that one's back toward the middle a run will come home Ria looks to third throws to First RBI for schwarber as Sosa crosses the plate the Phillies are finally on the board here in the sixth inning infield in here for the Braves as Turner bats swung on hit in the air left field should be plenty deep enough Kellick over near the line he's under it he makes the catch Roos tagging here comes the throw it is not in time and we start over as the Phillies get two runs here in the inning against Max freed and it's a 2-2 ball game heard some booze last night for Bryce Harper same kind of serenade here tonight ett with a backand he's fitting in quite nicely is Giovani Ella and the 100th pitch is going to be the last one for Arona Jeff Hoffman coming on in the sixth Philly's going to their Bullpen Jeff Hoffman takes over on the mound to face Gio Ella two on one out pitch swung on ground ball right at Sosa he's got it flips to Turner there's one on to First double play and Jeff Hoffman gets two for one and Max fre still out there it's been a very encouraging evening for Max fre going to fly ball out towards deep left field Jared Kellick to the wall with urgency Jared has room had his back back to the wall and made the catch Joe Jimenez will take over on the mound for the Braves here in the eighth he'll face the bottom third of the Philly's order in a two2 ball game Fly ball right field going back on it is lauriano he's out near the track it's over his head and it's off the wall he plays it well Wilson runs well he's on his way to Second he's there sliding Weston Wilson with his third double of the year the Phillies have a runner in scoring position Runner to Third Base here with one out in the E now it's up to Brandon Marsh to drive him in Fly ball left center field that's going to get the run home maybe a little bit more Kellick is out there he's on the track makes the catch tagging from third is Weston Wilson Brandon Marsh comes through and the Phillies Take the Lead three to2 it's their first lead since the fourth inning of the final game against the Nationals mentioned this earlier for bow he's reached base in 36 consecutive games that streak being put to the test tonight Luke Jackson's first pitch a bouncer the third base Ella triggers to Second marfield by fires the first and a double play well that's worked well all night long Carlos Estes is going to try to come on and finish it off for the Phillies ersa gets the Braves in business now with one out winning run is in first base and back to the top of the order swing it a Tapper left side charging is B he's got it throws on the Run just in time to get Harris what a play and Alec bow comes up with it smoothly quick exchange and just gets Michael Harris a second both now in scoring position you want some drama how about Whitmer the guy that the Phillies let go 40 days ago at the plate the old one is shot the other way and knocking it down as Harper will step on the bag and it's never easy but the Phillies have won it three to2 as EST stez is able to close the door with the tying run at third and the potential winning run at second base
