The Atlanta Braves clinched their sixth straight NL East title, beating the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 on Wednesday night behind Spencer Strider's major league-leading 17th win and Austin Riley’s two-run homer.
Kirby Yates struck out Brandon Marsh to end the game and the players danced in a mob near the mound as Phillies fans booed them off the field.Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. responded to booing fans by raising both arms and signaling with his hands to bring it on.Atlanta clinched in 146 games, their second-quickest clinch in the divisional era.
Riley, one of many big boppers in the lineup, gave the Braves all the runs they needed when he connected off Cristopher Sánchez in the first for his 35th homer. Sanchez struck out a career-best 10 in 7 1/3 innings. Strider took it from there and won for the fifth time in six starts, allowing one run and four hits in seven innings. Strider struck out nine to boost his MLB-best total to 259. He also gave the bullpen some needed rest after a rough first three games in Philly that included Raisel Iglesias surrendering tying homers in the ninth inning in two of them.
Phillies manager Rob Thomson said it would be a “pleasant surprise” if injured first baseman Rhys Hoskins was able to return in the postseason. Hoskins has tried to remain optimistic that he could play after he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in spring training. Hoskins is playing on a $12 million, one-year contract and may have played his last game with Philadelphia.
