Phillies vs. Braves Game Highlights (8/22/24) | MLB Highlights

Something in the air when the Phillies and Braves get together and the Braves of course, winning six divisions in a row, but it didn't matter when the Phillies were able to knock him off two years in a row. He is a Michigander who found his way to Atlanta spencer Schwellenbach on the hills numbers that he wants, you know , he wants, there is ball four and Schwarber such a dangerous guy in the, on the ground right to second base. Merrifield Arcia a little too slow developing to turn to as the covering middle infielder. Turner is running. He gets to second as the ball lands and he'll make his way to third very easily. Phillies runners at first and third and now the Phillies in gear. This is something that they've done so well all year long. And it's a page out of the 2023 Braves book score first inning run to get on the opponents third base side. It's spinning to second. The third is not in time and the Phillies take the lead and they will face a guy coming off a complete game the second of his season. Christopher sanchez. What a surprise he's been for the Philadelphia Phillies may have the deepest rotation in baseball when healthy 32 is ball four. So both pitchers start their night with a leadoff walk. Both pitchers who don't walk very many Marcelo Zuna and that one ends up in left field inning has gone walk strikeout single and the Braves with the runners at 1st and 2nd base versus Sanchez base hit could tie the game three and two up the middle , second base that's smothered by ST he gets one at second. The turn is there terrific play by ST to lay out and what a turn by Turner 463. The Phillies turn two to finish off the Braves here in the bottom of the first Liano climbing in the lefty sanchez, Christopher Sanchez first pitch swing. This ball ends up in left field and a leadoff single for loo 12 to the ball softly tapped out to the mound. It gets by the pitcher and that's going to be a base hit by a good start here in the second inning. Back to back singles and 12 and he struck him out. It's a fastball that now in the hands of sean Murphy and Then he used that change up off of it for strike three. The raves with back to back singles to get things started runners at 1st and 2nd. No one out but sanchez has rebounded to strike out Arcia and Murphy two down and it's up to Gio Urshela in the air left field side and the newest Brave comes to ground rule double by Ursa that ties the game. If it doesn't hop over the wall , the Braves would have taken the lead. They could have a timely hitting has been a little bit of, well, hard to come by for Atlanta of the ball game tied up back to the top of the order to Michael Harris Harris breaks his bat to second base and Stott grounds out for the final out one run in the inning on three hits a little bit like what aaron Nola dealt with last night traffic on the bases all throughout the Braves seem to be putting far more pressure. These of the innings are going to have to capitalize and get that one run when they have a chance to Olson and he swings and rocks one out towards deep right field back to the wall. Now Castellanos over his head that's off the base of the wall. It's an RB I double for Olson and the Braves take the lead 2 to 1 here in the bottom of the third inning. Strike three. John Smoltz. First pitch on the ground left side is second. It's a slide and Then the throw over to third and a nice catch by wilson to create the rundown on Olson who dives back in safely. It was the right play until it wasn't on the infield for the Phillies, a smart idea by Turner to just spin it to third. But Then Olsen outflanked Philadelphia a top shelf decision by Trey Turner. Oh, you know, if he would have got that tag, if the throw was lower, he would have gotten the , the result a lot easier. But what a play and strike three there, it's a slider dropping out of the zone. Braves leading for the first time tonight. It's a two lead for spencer Schwellenbach who will face Harvard Castano and here in the top of the fourth inning and he struck him out on three of the same pitches. Golf shot in the air right field side off the curveball. Schwellenbach has really found a groove. Spencer Schwellenbach on a pretty good roll. He's retired 10 straight. He's got a 21 lead into the top of the fifth inning. Quick time out leads to a ground ball, second base side with Merrifield swing and a miss on the breaking ball strikeout number six for Schwellenbach three quarters swing, strike three, strikeout number 7, 14 in a row set down by Schwellenbach 21. Atlanta Spencer Schwellenbach has been outstanding so far. He's allowed just the one hit to Bryce Harper in the first inning as this pitch is served out to center straight away and Michael Harris, the second is underneath to make the catch swing by has been Trey Turner since the first pitch to right field that's going to be caught by loo and an easy inning for spencer. I tell you, this is the point in the game where you feel like if you're an Atlanta Braves fan, you're like, we should be up 43 and it's a 2 to 1 game similar to last night's game where the Braves were up 2 to 0 and the Phillies came back and won that game 3 to 2, which is really pivotal when you think about where the Braves are in the standings. That ball is cracked into left center field way back there to the clears the f scores playing time, but Duval hits a rocket out of here and adam Duvall cleared the dirt. He cleared the warning track. He cleared the fence 3 to 1. Atlanta on Duval's 11th homer of the year and his 30th R B I another leadoff man region. Yeah, and only the sixth home run this guy has allowed all year is absolutely in charge. And when you're in charge, you finish the deal, which she's doing one out away from completing a big seventh inning. That's off of Schwellenbach. He'll try to track it down and run out of time. So the first baserunner for the Phillies to reach safely since the third hitter of the game and suddenly the tying runs at the plate, this ball into right field on a line that's down and the warning track off the slide from Lorean, he'll spin it in coming to the plate on ST is not in time. Philadelphia is back on the board. This is a game again. 3 to 2. And how about this? Standing ovation for spencer Schwellenbach, a great reception for Schwellenbach. Pierce Johnson, the first man out of the bullpen for the Braves at second and a 12 is strike three. So Pierce Johnson comes along, slams the door on Marsh and maintains the one run lead 31 that's ball 432 coming and he missed low and it's ball four. So back to back walks the go ahead run at first base. Harper going to be on deck while Turner bats with two men on looking for a double play which is difficult against Turner third bases. It gets it to second humongous double play against the man that doesn't hit into many of them. Iglesias has been unscored upon in 14 consecutive innings. He'll face Bryce Harper. So here's what happened last night, garcia hits this ball. He kind of stares down Harper on the way by gives him a look and Harper basically said, yeah, I these are huge moments. That's why you get paid to do the job strike. Big out number one for Iglesias and a miss strike 31 strike away. The crowd gets up and energy is running through your body and miss electricity from Iglesias and a one run victory for Atlanta
