Atlanta used a three-run homer and strong relief pitching to send Philadelphia to its fifth straight postseason exit.
- On Thursday, the Philadelphia Phillies' season ended in the National League Wild Card Series after a 6-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves, eliminating them from postseason contention.
- The Phillies' core of Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, J.T. Realmuto, Zack Wheeler, and Aaron Nola has made five straight playoff appearances but has yet to win a championship.
