Not bad for Game No. 1, huh?
Yessir, that first Phillies victory of the 2021 season tasted pretty sweet on Thursday, with Jean Segura walking off the Atlanta Braves 3-2 in 10 innings. Aaron Nola shoved (well, right up until Pablo Sandoval shoved an 0-2 mistake fastball into New Jersey, anyway), the Phils made some sparkling plays in the field, specifically by Alec Bohm, Didi Gregorius, Roman Quinn and J.T. Realmuto, and at the end of the day, the Phillies are in FIRST PLACE IN THE NL EAST WHILE THE Atlanta Braves ARE IN LAST.
