In front of a sold-out crowd, the Braves secured a commanding 6-2 victory, clinching their advancement to the NLDS. Ray Kerr, the Braves' ace, was outstanding throughout the game, shutting down the Phillies in the first three innings and ensuring a 5-0 lead. Michael Harris II delivered a massive three-run home run, the lowest pitch hit for a postseason HR under tracking in 2026. Chris Sale added to the Braves' dominance, sealing the game with a perfect ninth inning. The Phillies' bullpen struggled to keep up, allowing the Braves to advance to the next round of the playoffs.",
