Braves Beat Phillies in Wild Card Chase

Rookie Spencer Schwellenbach delivered a remarkable performance, retiring 19 consecutive batters to help the Atlanta Braves secure a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, taking two out of three games in the series. Schwellenbach struck out nine over 6 2/3 innings, and Raisel Iglesias closed with his 28th save, extending his scoreless streak to 15 innings. Despite the win, the Braves remain six games behind the Phillies in the NL East. Phillies' offensive struggles persisted, with key hitters like Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper combining for minimal impact. Reynaldo López also shined for the Braves earlier in the series, striking out 10 in his return from the injured list. The Braves, battling for the final NL Wild Card spot, face ongoing injury challenges but remain in contention.
