GDT 10/7/23 Philadelphia Phillies (Suárez, R) @ Atlanta Braves (Strider)

[bkox]

All comes down to Kimbrel which is exactly how we all guessed it would go when we heard the Phillies signed him last offseason.........

[EDmuch]

Kimbrell on the mound in the 9th????? My nerves are shot

[LoneStarPhan]

Rojas looking overmatched

He is not alone tonight. Bohm really looked lost at the plate.

Good thing is that either or both can bounce back and have a great game Monday.

Had 'em all the way, Harry!

Best offense in baseball---except against these seven guys!

[harrisburghusker]

Woo Hoo!

[EDmuch]

Wow !!!

[gmwannabe]

Nice! at least there will be a home game for the fans. Rojas will go 0 for the series and Bohm could as well. as long as they bring the gloves. I was expecting them to win tomorrow's game with Wheeler and not beat strider. I hope this isn't a flip flop situation.

That’s the first time the Braves were shut out at home since Aug. 28, 2021.

Its a best of 5. So there was always going to be at least one home game. Now there will be 2 (unless they sweep)

I was expecting them to win tomorrow's game

Off day tomorrow. Next game is Monday
