ATLANTA (AP) — Bryce Harper homered, Ranger Suárez and the Philadelphia bullpen stifled baseball's most prolific offense, and the Phillies blanked the 104-win Atlanta Braves 3-0 in Game 1 of the NL Division Series on Saturday night.
In a playoff rematch between division rivals, the East champion Braves find themselves in exactly the same position as a year ago: trailing the Phillies after the opener at Truist Park.
The Phillies went on to a 3-1 upset of the Braves in 2022 on an improbable run to the World Series. Now, they're up again heading to Game 2 of the best-of-five series Monday night in Atlanta.
