The Philadelphia Phillies fell to the Atlanta Braves 12-2 on September 12 at Truist Park. Bryce Harper provided the team’s only early offense with a first-inning solo home run, but the Braves pulled away following an eight-run fourth inning. The rally was fueled by a defensive error and five runs surrendered by reliever Grant Holman in his season debut. This result continues a difficult stretch for Philadelphia, which has lost seven of its last 10 games. Despite the recent slump, the Phillies maintain a lead in the National League Wild Card race and possess a 94.2% probability of reaching the postseason. Harper indicated the team must improve its internal consistency to secure a playoff spot as the regular season concludes.
