Phillies complete Game 2 comeback over Braves with historic ABS challenge to end it

The Philadelphia Phillies completed a 4-3 comeback victory over the Atlanta Braves in Game 2 of the wild-card series at Truist Park. In the bottom of the 10th inning, catcher J.T. Realmuto successfully challenged a ball call via the automated ball-strike system on a pitch from Andrew Painter to Dominic Smith, resulting in an overturned strike three to end the contest. This marked the first time ABS has concluded a major league postseason game.

Atlanta led 3-1 in the seventh inning after a Bryce Harper misplay and a Matt Olson sacrifice fly. Kyle Schwarber and Harper tied the game with solo home runs in the eighth, before Alec Bohm delivered the game-winning solo shot in the 10th off Didier Fuentes. The deciding Game 3 will take place on Thursday in Atlanta.
