Phillies’ bats silent as Braves even series

It was billed as a battle of aces Wednesday night, and it proved worth the wait.

Zack Wheeler and Kyle Wright traded zeroes until the bottom of the sixth, when a fielding miscue by Rhys Hoskins led to an Atlanta three-spot as the Braves evened the National League Division Series with a 3-0 win.

The series is tied 1-1. The series shifts to Philadelphia with Game 3 Friday afternoon (4:37, FS1).

A sellout crowd of 42,735 had to wait two hours and 55 minutes through a rain delay, but the starters made it worthwhile. Both were masterful in posting zeroes through five innings, but ultimately Wright got more help from his defense.
