The high-powered offense for the Atlanta Braves short-circuited in their first game in the 2023 NLDS, as the Philadelphia Phillies rode their bullpen to a 3-0 shutout victory to take Game 1 of the Divisional Series.
The first inning was a challenging one for Spencer Strider as the Phillies came out of the gates swinging aggressively. Kyle Schwarber hit a screamer into center field for a leadoff double to get things going. Fortunately, a tailor-made ground ball from Trea Turner ended up getting Schwarber caught at third for the first out of the inning.
