Braves hit 3 homers, including 3-run shot by Harris, and beat Phillies 6-2 to win Wild Card Series
The Braves took a postseason series for the first time since winning the 2021 World Series and earned their first playoff series win against the Phillies.
The Atlanta Braves secured a 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 3 of their National League Wild Card Series, advancing to the Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Three Atlanta players - Michael Harris II, Chris Sale, and Ray Kerr - contributed to the win. Harris smacked a three-run homer in the first inning, followed by a two-run homer from Ozzie Albies in the fourth.
Kerr, making his postseason debut, pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings. Sale came out of the bullpen to secure the final four outs. This win marked the Braves' first playoff series victory against the Phillies, ending a six-year losing streak.
