Daily News | Phillies manage only four hits as they get swept by Braves, 5-2
Atlanta Braves center fielder Michael Harris cannot prevent a solo homer by Alec Bohm in the sixth inning, which broke up a no-hitter.ATLANTA — Bailey Falter put the Phillies in position to win on Sunday. Facing one of the best offenses in baseball, an offense he had never faced, he allowed only four hits, one earned run, and two walks over 4⅔ innings. But unfortunately for Falter, even that wasn’t enough in the Phillies’ 5-2 loss to the Braves, who completed a three-game sweep at Truist Park.
“He’s got good stuff,” Kyle Schwarber said of Strider. “He’s going to be a guy we see for quite a long time. He’s one of those guys where if he’s in the zone, he has the stuff that you foul it off. It’s a plus for him. Those are the kind of guys you really have to bear down and try to get him in the zone and don’t miss it. Another good day for him. You have to tip your cap.”
Calling on Bellatti early was a smart move in that moment, especially given the matchup and Monday’s off day, but from there, the rest of the bullpen was unable to shut down the Braves’ lineup in the way that Falter had. Connor Brogdon allowed a solo home run to William Contreras in the sixth. Sam Coonrod allowed another solo shot to Robbie Grossman in the seventh, and an RBI single by Riley three at-bats later to give the Braves a 4-1 lead.
The Phillies’ first two games against the Braves in this three-game set resulted in losses, but they were at least competitive. With Falter on the mound, Sunday’s game felt competitive at first but demoralizing by the end . The Phillies are now 80-66. They are now tied with the Padres for the second wild-card spot, pending San Diego’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
