Fourth Inning


The fourth inning proved pivotal for Atlanta as they broke through with an impressive offensive display. Ozzie Albies led the charge with a home run that contributed significantly to his team's four runs during this period. Austin Riley also played a crucial role by maintaining his high batting average and adding another home run to his tally, showcasing why he is considered one of Atlanta's key players. This surge put pressure on Philadelphia's defense and shifted momentum firmly in favor of the Bravos.


Sixth Inning


In another standout moment for Atlanta, they added two more runs in the sixth inning thanks to strategic hitting and capitalizing on opportunities presented by Philadelphia's pitching errors. Marcell Ozuna demonstrated his prowess by getting on base consistently throughout this segment of play, further extending their lead over their rivals.

Eighth Inning


Philadelphia attempted a comeback during this period when they scored two runs through effective hitting strategies that caught Atlanta off guard temporarily. However, despite these efforts from players like Bryce Harper who showed determination at bat, it wasn't enough against an already dominant performance from their opponents earlier in proceedings.


Ninth Inning


As both teams entered into what would be their final chance for scoring changes within regulation timeframes; each side managed additional points but ultimately left things unchanged regarding overall outcomes: With only one more point added onto respective tallies (1 each), there remained little doubt about which squad had emerged victorious after all was said done - namely those representing Georgia’s capital city!
