Braves and Antacid Manufacturers 2, Phillies 1

Charlie Morton and Zach Wheeler were as advertised. Will Smith was (nearly) as feared. The slightly better team won by just enough. What are you expecting, a detailed recap of a seven-hit game?

If I were JonathanF, of course, I’d spend the next seven paragraphs describing a complex statistical analysis I performed for fun on a SQL database of all of the recorded statistics in baseball history to elucidate a particular key point in the game — maybe an deep dive into “Hibernation Mode,” and if I had his acumen, I might even be able to explain to you why the hell the Braves, who put together a three-hit, two-run rally in the third, went to sleep for the next five innings, mustering just four baserunners: two walks, one single, and one via error.
