Trea Turner Powers Phillies Past Braves

Phillies Win 10-8 on Walk-Off Single

Turner's Heroics Give Phillies Series Win

The Philadelphia Phillies rallied from an 8-6 deficit in the ninth inning to defeat the Atlanta Braves 10-8 on a walk-off single by Trea Turner, giving the Phillies a 3-2 lead in the National League Division Series.

Turner's single came with the bases loaded and two outs, driving in Brandon Marsh from third base. The hit capped a three-run ninth inning for the Phillies, who had tied the game on a sacrifice fly by Matt Vierling and a single by Bryson Stott.

The Braves had taken an 8-6 lead in the top of the ninth on a two-run homer by Austin Riley, but the Phillies bullpen was able to hold the Braves scoreless in the tenth inning to set the stage for Turner's heroics.

The Phillies will now head to Atlanta for Game 6 of the NLDS on Sunday night. The Braves will need to win to force a Game 7 on Monday night.

Turner's Performance

Turner was 3-for-5 with two RBIs and two runs scored in the game. He also stole a base and made a key defensive play in the seventh inning to help the Phillies escape a jam.

Turner has been one of the Phillies' most consistent hitters all season, and he has continued to produce in the playoffs. He is now batting .333 with two home runs and six RBIs in the NLDS.

Phillies' Comeback

The Phillies' comeback from an 8-6 deficit in the ninth inning was their biggest of the season. It was also the first time they had won a game in which they trailed by multiple runs in the ninth inning since August 29.

The Phillies' comeback was sparked by a leadoff single by Kyle Schwarber. Marsh then walked to put two runners on base for Vierling, who drove in Schwarber with a sacrifice fly.

Stott followed with a single to put runners on the corners for Turner, who then delivered the game-winning hit.

Implications for NLDS

The Phillies' win gives them a 3-2 lead in the NLDS and puts them one win away from advancing to the National League Championship Series.

The Braves will need to win Game 6 on Sunday night to force a Game 7 on Monday night. The Braves have a 3-1 record at home in the playoffs this season, so they will be confident that they can win Game 6 and force the series back to Philadelphia.

Conclusion

The Phillies' win over the Braves in Game 5 of the NLDS was a huge victory for the team. Turner's walk-off single was a dramatic moment that will be remembered by Phillies fans for years to come.

The Phillies will now head to Atlanta with a chance to close out the series and advance to the NLCS. The Braves will need to win Game 6 to stay alive, but the Phillies will be confident that they can finish the job.
