Braves and Phillies split four-game series in Philadelphia

The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies split a four-game series at Citizens Bank Park, leaving Atlanta with its four-game lead in the National League East intact. Ronald Acuña Jr. highlighted the weekend for Atlanta, recording seven hits and two home runs over the series, including a game-tying three-run shot on Sunday. Philadelphia’s starting rotation, led by Cristopher Sánchez and Jesús Luzardo, limited the Braves' left-handed hitters to a combined 10-for-59 performance. Luzardo closed the series Monday with a complete-game shutout to secure a win for the Phillies. The teams are scheduled to play a three-game series in Atlanta starting next weekend. With the division title still within reach for both clubs, the series maintains postseason implications for the final stretch of the season.
