Braves have them loaded.
Gets out of this with maybe one, at maximum two runs, and he's done a pretty good job.
And here comes Mauricio Dubn, who was certainly a hero for the Braves last night.
His two-run homer in the 8th inning lifted the Braves.
Just off the outside corner.
ABS, powered by T-Mobile.
This may be a strikeout.
That could be a shining pitch.
It is really close.
Did JT get it right?
And now Wheeler with a real chance to get out of this.
As I mentioned last time, loaded the bases with nobody out.
He did it on a walk, a hit by pitch, and a single.
He had gotten a double play and a punch out to get out of it, but one run did score.
Now all of a sudden, as you mentioned, a real opportunity for him to get out of it.
After that inning against the Angels, he absolutely could.
Fly ball, right field.
This should do it.
Harper says he has it.
Hill is there as well.
Hill makes the final call on the catch, and the inning is over.
He slid his way into trouble, and he slammed his way out of trouble.
Arraez, who was hitting .382 with runners in scoring position as a member of the Giants, has hit right around .230 with the Phillies.
So now two in scoring position.
A looper out toward right.
Acuna's coming on.
He played it on one hop and then gets the throw in.
They go to the plate, he's safe at home.
One-nothing Phillies.
And they are now loaded.
So two away for J.T.
Realmuto.
And ball four.
Wow.
That's gonna force in a run.
ABS powered by T-Mobile.
That may be a shining pitch JT's gonna come back.
It's ball four.
Two-nothing Phils.
Four walks in the inning for Perez.
Well, it is a triple for Hill.
Top of the order and Schwarber.
Ground ball over to first.
Off the glove of Olsen.
Hill's coming home.
Oh.
And they won't get him.
It'll be three-nothing Phillies.
He never had the ball in his hand.
It was bobbled the whole time.
One down for Ronald Acuna.
Three-nothing Phillies in the top of the third.
Ronald Acuna Jr. Launches this to left center, and it is long gone to the upper deck.
It gets the Braves on the board.
It is also career RBI number 500 for Acuna.
Wow, 450 feet.
And he absolutely knew it.
He took a peek into the old dugout for the Phillies.
Did a few dances around the bases.
Wilmers walked and scored.
He's grounded out.
That ball is smoked toward the second deck off the Scorebet sign.
Line drive home run for Kyle Schwarber.
It's his 41st of the year, and the Phillies lead it four to one.
Six solid innings again for Zach.
One run on three hits.
Strikes out nine, walks two.
After the home run to Acuna, that was the last hit he allowed.
Retires 11 of the next 12.

Two down for Austin Riley.
Riley, left center.
Deep.
Sosa back.
It is gone.
Four to two.
Acuna with a solo homer in the third, and now Riley launches one here in the seventh.
And now Ozzie Albies is all that stands in the way of, of the Phillies and their 80th victory of the season.
Swing and a bouncer over to first.
This should do it.
Bohm's got it.
