⚾ The Braves evened the best-of-five series against the Phillies Wednesday night with a 3-0 win at Truist Park. Here's the recap from NBCSPhilly:
With Acuña Jr. on first base, Wheeler issued his first walk of the game on a 3-2 pitch to Dansby Swanson. The next batter, Matt Olson, stroked a 1-2 slider on the ground to first baseman Rhys Hoskins. What appeared to be a routine, inning-ending play, turned into the first run of the game when Hoskins could not make a backhand play on the ball. The eyes said the play was an error, but the Atlanta-based official scorer awarded Olson an RBI single.
"I've given no thought to it because that's who Schwarb is," Thomson said before the game."He goes through some down times. But when they're good times and he's hot, he's as hot as anybody. So we'll just wait it out." Wheeler retired the first nine batters he faced and got through the first five innings on just 50 pitches.
Because of the late start, the Phillies changed their travel plans and pushed back their charter flight to Philadelphia back to Thursday morning.
