Pitcher’s duels are awesome: Phillies 1, Braves 0

Tense.

Well played.

Well pitched.

This game had all three of the components that one looks for in October. THIS is what playoff baseball was all about.

Admittedly, a matchup between Ranger Suarez and Max Fried feels a bit one sided, but it turned out to be anything but. It was very evenly matched as both Suarez and Fried mowed their way through the lineups as the temperatures dropped and the winds played a bit of a factor.

The Braves had a bit of a rally in the first inning thanks to back to back one out singles, but Suarez wiggled his way out of the jam to set them down.
