It took an extra-inning break to separate the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves, with Alec Bohm’s home run providing the final turn in a tense postseason game.
Bryce Harper carried Philadelphia’s offense through the late stages. He drove in Trea Turner early, then homered to bring the game level after Kyle Schwarber had also gone deep.
Atlanta had taken the lead in the seventh when Drake Baldwin’s double brought Sean Murphy home, followed by Matt Olson’s sacrifice fly that scored Ha-Seong Kim. Philadelphia answered in the eighth, with Schwarber’s homer narrowing the gap and Harper’s homer tying the game. In the extra inning, Alec Bohm homered to give the Phillies the lead.
Tyler Mahle kept Atlanta in control for much of the game with a sharp start, while Cristopher Sánchez worked through the middle innings for Philadelphia. Andrew Painter then held Atlanta scoreless in relief, and Didier Fuentes absorbed the final turning point.
The game’s character never changed: a quiet contest opened with an early exchange, tightened through the middle innings and finally broke on one extra-inning swing.
