The Philadelphia Phillies won a battle against the Braves in Atlanta, taking game two of their three-game series, 4-3. Trea Turner came up with the game-winning homer in the top of the 9th.
For five innings, neither pitching staff, mainly starters Taijuan Walker and Grant Holmers would crack. Then in the 6th, Bryson Stott was able to just get enough of a pitch and scorched a grounder that was in and out of the glove of Ozzie Albies at second. It went down as an RBI single, scoring Max Kepler and the first run of the game.
When the 7th inning rolled around, the Phillies trailed 2-1. That’s when Bryce Harper smashed a two-run home run to right-center field for his second homer of the season. After an Austin Riley homer off Joe Ross in the seventh tied the score at 3, the Phillies’ offense needed to respond.
Trea Turner was the one that would make that happen. He came up with one out in the top of the 9th and belted his first homer of the season, jumping on a first pitch slider to left field to give the Phillies a 4-3 edge. Jose Alvarado pitched 1.1ip and recorded the win.
Taijuan Walker made the start for the Phillies, notching his 2nd straight scoreless outing to start off his 2025 campaign. That’s now 10.2 of scoreless baseball for a guy that was supposed to start this season in the bullpen, then Ranger Suarez’ back issue landed him on the injured list.
Phillies go for their fourth straight series win as they send Jesus Luzardo to the hill against Spencer Schwellenbach Thursday night at 7:15.
