Braves cut magic number to 1 with 7-2 win over Phillies

Max Fried turned in another solid performance and the Atlanta Braves beat up the Philadelphia Phillies’ bullpen in a 7-2 win Wednesday night at Truist Park.

The Braves started quickly as Jorge Soler and Freddie Freeman led off with back-to-back singles off of Aaron Nola. After a fly out by Ozzie Albies, Austin Riley plated the first run by dumping a bloop single to right to make it 1-0.

Adam Duvall then grounded to Jean Segura who flipped to Didi Gregorius at second. Duvall beat the relay throw and Freeman scored to make it 2-0.
