Bohm’s homer in 10th lifts Phillies over Braves 4-3 to force decisive Game 3

Alec Bohm delivered a crucial two-out home run in the tenth frame to push the Philadelphia Phillies past the Atlanta Braves by a 4-3 margin on Wednesday, forcing a decisive third matchup in their National League Wild Card series. Andrew Painter tossed three scoreless frames in relief to shut down the opposition, ending the contest by successfully challenging a called ball on Dominic Smith using the automated ball-strike system.

Earlier in the contest, Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper launched consecutive long balls in the eighth inning off Dylan Lee to erase a deficit created by Atlanta's seventh-inning rally. Tyler Mahle surrendered just one run across seven strong innings for the Braves, while Cristopher Sánchez logged 6 2/3 innings for the visitors before turning things over to the bullpen.
