The Atlanta Braves rolled past the Philadelphia Phillies 9–3 at Truist Park on September 19, 2023. Ronald Acuña Jr. powered the offense with two home runs—a solo shot early and another in the sixth—while Marcell Ozuna and Kevin Pillar delivered timely RBI hits. Bryce Harper briefly closed the gap with a three-run homer in the sixth, but Spencer Strider dominated on the mound (7.0 IP, 11 K), and Joe Jiménez finished the job as Atlanta pulled away late. The result further underscored the Braves’ strong form against their division rival, the Philadelphia Phillies, and kept momentum with the Atlanta Braves down the stretch.
