Summary
Braves’ playoff hopes took a hit after a brutal loss: rookie pitcher JR Ritchie surrendered six runs, including two homers, in just five innings, leading to an 8-4 defeat. The loss shrinks their NL East lead to 4.5 games and keeps their magic number at five. With the Phillies winning, the Braves missed a chance to clinch the division and secure a postseason spot — a scenario that depended on them winning while Diamondbacks or Padres lost. Pitching woes continue to haunt them, but with the season still young, they’re left with more chances to turn things around and make a push for the playoffs.
