The Phillies secured a shutout victory in Game 1 against the Braves, led by
Bryce Harper
and their bullpen.
Bryce Harper contributed to Philadelphia's win with a walk and a powerful solo home run.
Harper has been a Braves' nightmare in the last two postseasons, hitting three home runs in 10 out of 18 at-bats.
The
Phillies' bullpen
played a crucial role, with six relievers combining for 5 1/3 scoreless innings.
Trea Turner's spectacular diving stop in the eighth inning led to a crucial inning-ending double play.
Philadelphia
now leads the series 1-0, historically putting them in a strong position to win the best-of-five series.
