Bryce Harper homered, the Philadelphia bullpen stifled baseball's most prolific offence, and the Phillies blanked the Braves 3-0 Saturday.
Harper hit his 12th career post-season homer, Suarez and a half-dozen teammates combined on a five-hitter, and the Phillies stifled baseball’s most prolific offence for a 3-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves in Game 1 of the NL Division Series on Saturday night.
As usual, Harper was right in the middle of things. He reached base in all four at-bats and gave the Phillies some breathing room with a liner into the right-field seats off 20-game winner Spencer Strider in the sixth inning.We apologize, but this video has failed to load.The Braves’ offence had been shining all season, tying the major league record with 307 homers while averaging more than 5.8 runs per game.
Snitker and Murphy had no complaints about the call, and the Braves manager ripped the fans who littered the outfield. Suarez walked slowly off the mound, clearly upset at being lifted so quickly, but Thomson said the lefty calmed down when he explained Philadelphia’s strategy.
