Acuña’s Fire Burns Phillies | MLB News
Description
The Phillies’ playoff hopes are hanging by a thread after a brutal weekend series against the Braves, who’ve turned Ronald Acuña Jr. into their unstoppable force. Down four games in the NL East, Philly dropped Game 1 and couldn’t sustain momentum despite Zack Wheeler’s strong start — and even a fiery moment when Acuña’s homer drew boos and Wheeler’s jab at Schwarber. Acuña’s been on fire, delivering a game-tying three-run blast in the eighth and leading Atlanta to a win, while Schwarber’s homers haven’t been enough to offset Atlanta’s surge. The Braves now hold the tiebreaker, and the Phillies’ path to the division title just got exponentially harder.
