Game 127 - Thursday Night, August 22nd in Atlanta
Record - 74-53, 1st Place, 6 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Braves starter Spencer Schwellenbach baffled the Phillies and the offense folded quietly in this 3-2 loss.
What It Means: It could have been a lot worse, as the Phillies escape Atlanta having lost only one game in the standings.
What Happened: Schwellenbach channeled Cy Young, holding the Phillies to three hits and a pair of runs while striking out nine. Cristopher Sanchez took the loss, allowing three runs on nine hits. The Phillies' offense managed a single from Bryce Harper in the first, a single by Bryson Stott in the seventh and an RBI-double from J.T. Realmuto a few batters later to score Stott.
Featured Card: The Phillies scored just six runs in these three games against the Braves. I found this post from Baseball Paul interesting, noting the last time the Phillies won a series in Atlanta while ahead of the Braves in the standings was back in May 2016. Andrew Bailey was the winning pitcher and Jeanmar Gomez secured his 13th save of the season.
