Game 3 - Sunday Afternoon, March 31st in Philadelphia
Record - 1-2, Tied for 2nd Place, 1 game behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies rallied from behind and the bullpen did its job, hanging on to avert the series sweep in this 5-4 win over the Braves.
What It Means: The Phillies flip the calendar to April and open a three-game series against the Reds before heading on the road to Washington and St. Louis.
What Happened: Ranger Suarez allowed a two-run first inning home run to Ozzie Albies and then settled in for the next few innings before the Braves scored again in the fourth. Leading off the bottom of the first, Kyle Schwarber lined the first pitch he saw from starter Chris Sale into the right field bleachers. Schwarber grounded into a double play in the fifth with the bases loaded, scoring another run, and cutting the Braves lead to 3-2.

In the bottom of the seventh, Bryson Stott walked to lead off the inning. With one out, Johan Rojas grounded to shortstop and just beat out the throw to first as Stott was forced out for the inning's second out. Three straight singles led to the Phillies comeback and ultimate victory. Kyle Schwarber singled to center, and Trea Turner singled to right to score Rojas. Alec Bohm then singled to left, scoring Schwarber and Turner and giving the Phillies a 5-3 lead. The Braves would threaten, scoring a run off Seranthony Dominguez in the eighth, but Jose Alvarado retired the Braves in order in the ninth to record his first save of the season.
Featured Card: Bohm gets the card for his big two-out, two-run single and this his base card from Topps Series One.
Transaction: Before the game, Luis F. Ortiz (rhp) landed on the 15-day Injured List with a left ankle sprain suffered in Saturday's game. Nick Nelson (rhp) was recalled from Lehigh Valley to take his place in the bullpen.
