Braves look to gain upper hand as series shifts to Philadelphia

The Division Series will shift to Philadelphia Wednesday for Game 3 between the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies. The Braves will be looking for their first lead in the series after a thrilling comeback win at home in Game 2. After plenty of discussion, Atlanta announced Wednesday that Bryce Elder will get the start in Game 3. The Phillies will go with veteran righty Aaron Nola.

The Braves started the series going scoreless over the first 14 2/3 innings across the first two games of the series. They stormed back from a 4-0 deficit in Game 2, thanks to a pair of two run home runs by Travis d’Arnaud and Austin Riley.
