Phillies Rally to Defeat Braves 5-4

The Philadelphia Phillies secured a 3-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday, thanks to Zack Wheeler's stellar performance, marking his 100th career win with seven shutout innings pitched. The Phillies struggled offensively in the early innings but managed to score in the third with a solo home run from Edmundo Sosa, followed by a home run from Trea Turner in the sixth, and an insurance run in the seventh. This victory came after the Braves previously lost a 5-4 lead against the Phillies, where they blew a four-run advantage due to a three-run homer by Brandon Marsh in the sixth inning. Both teams faced challenges with their pitching, particularly the Braves' Charlie Morton, who allowed several crucial hits that led to the comeback. The Braves' manager, Brian Snitker, reflected on the game, noting the missed opportunity to capitalize on their early lead. Despite the loss, the Braves aim to regroup and learn from their recent performances.
