The Atlanta Braves ran into a buzzsaw in the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2023 playoffs. Atlanta dropped the first two games but eked out a win in Game 3.
For Game 4, the carnage continued as Philadelphia put together yet another lopsided win for the Phillies, which hit multiple home runs in their victories.
Philly big hitters Bryce Harper and NIck Castellanos hit two homers each in the dominant win over Atlanta, which puts them one win away from the NLCS.
Braves Eliminated From the Postseason
This was supposed to be the year that the Braves’ big bats broke through. Not on Wednesday night. It was Harper who stole the show on this night.
After one of the homers, Harper gave Orlando Arcia a long stare, purportedly for the shortstop’s remarks about the first baseman’s error in the previous game. There was no mistake by Harper in this game, where he loomed large for the Braves bullpen.
The Phillies are now looking to close out the Braves on Thursday night.
Final Word
The Braves have been surging through the 2023 campaign and deservingly so, the team has nothing short of title hopes. To no one’s surprise, a large part of the season hinges on the healthy arm of pitcher Ronald Acuña and the bullpen.
The Braves are just one of many Atlanta teams that you can support. The Falcons and Hawks could really appreciate your help.
