The Atlanta Braves secured a 6-5 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in an 11-inning game at Truist Park on Thursday. Matt Olson opened the scoring with a first-inning home run, but the Phillies took a 3-1 lead in the second behind a bases-clearing double from Derek Hill. Both starting pitchers, Chris Sale and Aaron Nola, remained in the contest into the seventh inning before the bullpens took over. The Phillies held leads multiple times, but the Braves forced extra innings and eventually tied the game in the 11th on a hit by Ha-Seong Kim. Drake Baldwin drove in the winning run to complete the comeback. The loss followed a series of missed opportunities for Philadelphia, including a baserunning error by Bryce Harper in the ninth inning that denied the team a potential insurance run.
