The Phillies won Game 3 at home to take 2-1 series lead over Braves.
In four games, Atlanta Braves pitchers faced a total of six batters while holding a lead. Six. They boasted the best record in baseball this season and wielded control almost every night for six months because that is what they did — they played with leads. They scored 146 runs in 162 first innings during the season. But, for all first four innings in this series, the Phillies held them scoreless.The Braves tied the Major League Baseball regular-season record for home runs hit.
The Phillies slammed three solo homers against Spencer Strider in Game 4 and, somehow, they won both games in this series started by Atlanta's best pitcher.They did it their way. Castellanos, not known as the most disciplined hitter, had some of the calmest at-bats of the entire series. Trea Turner had been 0 for 17 against Strider before Game 4. He went 3 for 3 and clubbed a go-ahead homer. Craig Kimbrel, the veteran closer, had inherited one batter all season.
