Fans throw rubbish over controversial Braves-Phillies call

ATLANTA – Didi Gregorius hit a three-pointer in the fourth innings of Philadelphia and flew the sacrifice in ninth place to help the Phillies win the Atlanta Braves’ four-game victory with a 7-6 victory Sunday night. .

Alec Bohm doubles Braves closer to Will Smith to start the ninth, advancing to a third and making a 7-6 score on Gregorius’ fly to level left. Marcell Ozuna’s throw jumped twice before Bohm was initially called safe – even though he did not seem to get his foot on the board against attacking Travis d’Arnaud.

The play was revised and maintained, prompting fans at Truist Park to throw rubbish in the outfield and having the crew come out of the site to pick up the trash.

“I was called safe,” Bohm said when asked if he thought he was outside. “That’s all that matters.”

Bohm was not surprised that Dusty Wathan, the third base coach, sent him.

“The whole bat he said, ‘We notice a volleyball. “I’ll be in your ear and let you know,” Bohm said. “The ball went up. I come to the bag and he says, ‘Yes, yes, yes!’ As soon as (Ozuna) caught it, I took off. ”

D’Arnaud was disappointed with the decision the video reviewer made.

“A nice two-hop, hits me right in the chest,” D’Arnaud said. ‘I leaned over, affixed the label, blocked the plate after catching the ball. At first I did not know if he was safe, or just because I had to go to the right to make sure I blocked the plate, but after watching the replay, his foot did not seem to touch the suitcase, from any angle we have seen.

“After that, I saw it from even more angles and it didn’t seem like his foot was touching the plate.”

Bryce Harper and Rhys Hoskins visited the Phillies, who lost three of four. Héctor Neris selected the minimum in the ninth to earn his second save, converting an ERA of 1.86 with five consecutive saves and 25 strokes, a team of 19 1/3 overs, since 28 August.

Jose Alvarado (2-0) took eighth place to secure the victory. Smith (0-2) lost the loss.

Ronald Acuña Jr., Freddie Freeman and Ozzie Albies drove the Braves. Acuña, on a hot series over his last six games, scored 9 for 13 in the three-game series and beat twice.

Harper looked for the second consecutive night and took the reliever Nate Jones deep with a solo shot on the opposite field to the left to make it 6-5. Acuña’s fourth homer, who came on in the bottom half of the innings to make it 6-all, sailed 428 feet into midfield from reliever Sam Coonrod.

Freeman’s fourth homer, coming from starter Matt Moore from the start, cleared the fence in the middle to force a fifth-place finish in fifth place.

“It was a great game,” Bohm said. ‘Every time they score, we will answer. They answered every time we scored points. This is a good win. ”

The Braves went up 3-0 in the first place. Acuña reaches on an inside single, and Albies hits his first homer before d’Arnaud doubles and hits on Dansby Swanson’s single.

Philadelphia made it 3-1 in second place when JT Realmuto doubled and passed on Jean Segura’s sacrificial fly.

In the fourth time, Hoskins’ second homer went to the left and cut the lead to 3-2 before Gregorius hit a twisting ball from starter Drew Smyly in the right-field seats for a three-homer that the Phillies 5-3. .

Gregorius credited Bohm and Jean Segura for climbing on their base before his try.

“I raised the team with the three-homer, but the innings did not happen without Seggie doing his job, and I tried to hit the ball deep enough so that Bohm could score,” Gregorius said. “This is the best part of the game there.”

The Braves responded with a run to make the point 5-4 in fourth place when Cristian Pache doubled, advanced on a bundle and passed on the sacrificial fly of Acuña.

Phillies starter Matt Moore conceded five runs and nine shots and hit three in five overs. Smyly allowed five runs and five hits and hit three in five overs.
