Phillies’ offense alive and well in late-night blowout win over Braves <\/a> originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia<\/a><\/p>\n

The Phillies\u2019 offense was alive and well late Friday night in rainy Atlanta.<\/p>\n

After scoring a single run over three games and being swept by the Astros<\/a>, the Phillies began their series against the Braves by tallying a season-high 13 runs. They moved to 48-34 on the year with a 13-0 win. Every member of the Phillies\u2019 starting lineup recorded a hit.<\/p>\n

The downpour at Truist Park delayed proceedings over two hours and the game did not finish until after midnight. Atlanta\u2019s pitchers obviously had a tougher time than the Phillies\u2019 with the wet weather.<\/p>\n

Mick Abel was supposed to start, but the delay caused Phillies manager Rob Thomson to opt for a bullpen game instead. Tanner Banks opened and threw two clean innings.<\/p>\n

The Braves stuck with their starter and he had a dreadful outing. Bryce Elder only managed six outs and allowed 10 runs (nine earned), eight hits and four walks.<\/p>\n

Trea Turner led off the evening with a double and Kyle Schwarber walked. A bases-loaded, two-out J.T. Realmuto free pass eventually brought home the Phils\u2019 first run.<\/p>\n

Turner ripped another shot to deep left field in the second inning, nailing a solo home run. Three batters later, Nick Castellanos blasted the Phillies to a 5-0 lead by lacing a juicy first-pitch sinker 445 feet to dead center.<\/p>\n

Elder\u2019s misery continued in the third. After Realmuto and Bryson Stott singled, Otto Kemp slammed a hanging slider for his first big-league home run.<\/p>\n

The Phils didn\u2019t mind seeing a new pitcher. The first batter Michael Petersen faced was Schwarber and the Phils\u2019 slugger hammered his 25th homer of the season.<\/p>\n

The remainder of the game contained zero drama and the Phillies had no need to use high-leverage bullpen arms. Taijuan Walker and Alan Rangel combined for seven scoreless innings out of the \u2018pen. Turner bashed his second homer on a 52.4 mph offering from position player Luke Williams in the ninth inning.<\/p>\n

The Phillies will search for a series win on Saturday night. The scheduled starters are the Phils\u2019 Jesus Luzardo (7-3, 4.08 ERA) and the Braves\u2019 Spencer Schwellenbach (6-4, 3.21 ERA).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Phillies’ offense alive and well in late-night blowout win over Braves originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":137581,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[191,5,192,4720,1715,113,6,81,4272,5158,4,8639,5162,40,4874,659,1544,9681,5095,1713],"class_list":{"0":"post-137580","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-atlanta","9":"tag-baseball","10":"tag-braves","11":"tag-bryce-elder","12":"tag-bryson-stott","13":"tag-j-t-realmuto","14":"tag-jesus-luzardo","15":"tag-kyle-schwarber","16":"tag-michael-petersen","17":"tag-mick-abel","18":"tag-mlb","19":"tag-nick-castellanos","20":"tag-otto-kemp","21":"tag-phillies","22":"tag-rob-thomson","23":"tag-spencer-schwellenbach","24":"tag-taijuan-walker","25":"tag-tanner-banks","26":"tag-the-braves","27":"tag-trea-turner"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114761997046826725","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137580"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137580\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/137581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
