Austin Riley drove Dansby Swanson to home plate to make it 2-0 in favor of the Braves. Olson scored on an RBI single from Travis d’Arnaud.
Kyle Wright secured the win for Atlanta after limiting the Phillies to two hits, walking one, and striking out six over six scoreless innings of work. Kenley Jansen got the save. Atlanta area native Zack Wheeler was charged with the loss for Philadelphia.
