BASEBALL

The Atlanta Braves hold on for 2-1 win over Phillies; magic number now 3.  Media release:   With the emphatic yell he projected at the conclusion of a 2-1 win over the Phillies on Tuesday night at Truist Park, Will Smith expressed both relief and anxious anticipation as the Braves took yet another step toward clinching a fourth consecutive National League East title.

• Box score

“I can see the excitement with the guys in the clubhouse and out on the field,” Charlie Morton said. “You see a lot more fist pumps and more yelling and excitement. It’s just that time of year, and we’re in a really good spot, where we’re playing games that everyone wants to play.”

With Morton delivering stellar innings, Smith overcoming Eddie Rosario’s error and Jorge Soler driving in Atlanta’s only two runs, the Braves maintained the possibility of clinching at the conclusion of this three-game series.

  • Tonight RHP Aaron Nola (9-8, 4.64 ERA) vs. LHP Max Fried (13-7, 3.12 ERA). Nola has struggled for much of the season, tallying a 5.04 ERA in his last 27 starts. But he has a 3.28 ERA in 24 career starts against Atlanta. Fried’s 1.78 ERA since the All-Star break matches Max Scherzer for the NL’s best mark.
  • This week: Home vs. Phillies through Thursday; all games 7:20 p.n.. Friday-Sunday: Home vs. Mets, 7:20 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 3:20 p.m. Sunday.
