The win pushed the Phillies’ lead in the National League East to seven games over the Braves, with five games remaining between the two teams in the regular season.
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola throws in the first inning of a baseball game against the Atlanta Braves, Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2024, in Atlanta.
Weston Wilson went 2 for 3 and scored the winning run in the eighth after leading off with a double. Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner each had an RBI for the Phillies. Atlanta’s Max Fried had his best outing in four starts since his stint on the injured list coming out of the All-Star break. He gave up two runs on four hits in seven innings, striking out four. Joe Jiménez took the loss.
Arcia’s home run in the fourth inning opened the scoring. With Kelenic on first after a leadoff single, Arcia lifted a ball that barely cleared the left field wall and gave the Braves a 2-0 lead. He appeared to stare at Bryce Harper while rounding first, something Harper did to Arcia while rounding second after hitting a home run during Game 3 of the National League Division Series in 2023.
