Phillies blank Braves to wrest home-field advantage in NLDS

October 8 - ATLANTA - Seven Philadelphia Phillies pitchers did something to the Atlanta Braves on Saturday night that the Braves hadn't experienced in more than two years.

Now the Phillies and Braves are in familiar positions in the National League Division Series.

A septuple of pitchers combined on a five-hit shutout for the visiting Phillies, who beat the Braves 3-0 in Game 1 of the NLDS.

"Good starting pitching, great bullpen, good defense, timely hitting as well." Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper told NBC Philadelphia after he went 2-for-2 with a homer and two walks.
