The defending World Series champions will try to keep their 2022 season alive when they face Philadelphia in Game 4 of the NLDS on Saturday afternoon. Atlanta was able to tie the series with a 3-0 win on Wednesday, but the Braves struggled to compete on Friday night. Philadelphia blew out Atlanta in a 9-1 final, giving the Phillies a chance to win the series at home.
Atlanta got off to a slow start in the series, trailing Philadelphia 7-1 going into the latter stages of the game. The Braves were able to reset with a strong performance from Kyle Wright in Game 2, cruising to a 3-0 win. They could not match Philadelphia on the road on Friday night, falling into an early hole when rookie Spencer Strider was shelled. Atlanta now has to pick up a win on Saturday afternoon to send the series back to Georgia for a deciding Game 5. Right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. leads the Braves with four hits this postseason, batting at a .571 clip.
Final: Phillies 9, #Braves 1.
