The Philadelphia Phillies forced a decisive Game 3 in their National League Wild Card series with a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Bryce Harper redeemed himself after a seventh-inning fielding error that allowed two Braves runs, launching a game-tying home run in the eighth. Alec Bohm delivered the walk-off blast in the 10th inning, a 357-foot shot that barely cleared the right-field fence.
The game also featured the first-ever MLB playoff conclusion on a managerial challenge, as J. T. Realmuto overturned a call to end the contest.
Phillies teammate Kyle Schwarber hit a two-run homer earlier in the eighth. Bohm, the third overall pick in the 2018 draft, credited his veteran teammate for the timely hit, stating Harper has been through "the wringer" this year. The win kept Philadelphia's season alive heading into Game 3.
