Yahoo Sports • • general
Key Points:
- Ray Kerr delivered 3 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing only Kyle Schwarber to reach base twice and exiting to a standing ovation after 47 pitches.
- Kerr's strong performance set up Grant Holmes to enter with a three-run lead and provide bulk relief.
- Braves faced a potential injury scare when Trea Turner stepped on Ronald Acuña Jr.'s hand, but Acuña gave a thumbs up signal despite appearing in pain.
- Atlanta has dominated the game so far, with solid defense highlighted by a key play from Mauricio Dubon and Matt Olson.
- Phillies starter Aaron Nola struggled, lasting just 1 2/3 innings with 3 runs allowed, leading to an anticipated early exit for Zack Wheeler to take over pitching duties.
