CBS Philadelphia, PA On Opening Day at Citizen’s Bank Park, the Atlanta Braves dominated the Philadelphia Phillies 9-3. The Braves opened the 20th season at Citizen’s Bank Park with a commanding victory.
The Braves and their all-star pitcher, Spencer Strider, who finished with eight strikeouts, defeated the Phillies in the highly anticipated game, leaving them disappointed.
As a result of the game’s original Thursday scheduling postponement owing to the predicted rain, Friday’s matchup has become even more anticipated.
Zach Wheeler, the star pitcher for the Phillies, gave up five hits while striking out five.
This was a rematch from the 2023 NLDS, in which the Phillies prevailed 3-1 in the series, therefore there was extra significance to the game.
