Season series: Braves lead 5-3
The Braves won the first game of the doubleheader 10-8 on Monday while losing the second game 7-5 despite 1B Matt Olson hitting 2 homers to reach 50 on the season. Atlanta is 5-5 in its last 10 games, but is still 15 games ahead of the Phillies for 1st place in the NL East and is the first team in MLB to clinch a postseason berth.
SS Trea Turner remained hot for the Phillies as he hit a homer in the first game and produced a multi-hit performance in the second game. Even though Philadelphia has a decent gap to close to catch Atlanta in the division race, it currently holds the top NL Wild Card.
