PHILLIES POSTCAST: Philadelphia Phillies BLOW 4-1 Lead in 8th, Fall to the Atlanta Braves, 5-4

The Philadelphia Phillies lost to the Atlanta Braves 5-4 despite GEM from Aaron Nola!

Aaron Nola tossed seven innings of one-run baseball allowing four hits and one walk while striking out five throwing. He threw 93 pitches over his seven innings. The only run the Braves were able to muster in the game came on a sack fly RBI by Ronald Acuña Junior in the 6th inning.

The Phillies opened the scoring in the 1st inning with an RBI sac fly by Luis Arraez bringing home Kyle Schwarber. Alec Bohm then followed in the inning with an RBI double to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead.

The Phils added two more runs in the 7th inning on a pair of solo homers. The first one came from Derek Hill to lead off the seventh on an 0-1 cutter followed by Kyle Schwarber‘s 42nd home run of the season and second of the series to open a 4-1 lead.

But in the top of the 8th, Alex McFarlane took over for Nola and surrendered a three-run homer by Ronald Acuna Jr that tied the game.

Then in the 9th, Jhoan Duran allowed a lead off double to Ozzie Albies and an RBI triple by Austin Riley that proved to be the difference in the game.
