Braves Defeat Phillies 3-2 Behind Schwellenbach

Spencer Schwellenbach led the Atlanta Braves to a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, showcasing his pitching prowess by retiring 19 consecutive batters. Over 6.2 innings, Schwellenbach allowed only three hits and one walk, while striking out nine batters, all swinging. The Braves initially fell behind after allowing a run in the first inning but rallied to take the lead with key hits, including a ground-rule double from Gio Urshela and a home run by Adam Duvall. Schwellenbach's performance improved his record to 5-6 and demonstrated his resilience after the loss of ace Spencer Strider. The win helped the Braves maintain pressure on the Phillies, who currently lead the NL East by six games. The two teams are set to meet again soon for a crucial series.
