Philadelphia returned home tied 1-1 in the 2022 National League Division Series -- just like this season — thenBut if you are a believer in momentum heading into Game 3 Wednesday, then the Braves just might be the team to beat.
— How did ace Zack Wheeler take a no-hit bid and a 4-0 lead into the sixth, only to start the collapse when he gave up Travis d’Arnaud’s two-run homer in the seventh?— And what about Bryce Harper’s baserunning?

A great catch by Michael Harris II and an alert backup and throw by Austin Riley sealed the Braves’ 5-4 win that evened the series at one each.
"This is a tough team, resilient team," Thomson said Tuesday. "I expect nothing less than these guys coming in here tomorrow and getting after it."The Phillies are 24-11 in the postseason at Citizens Bank, the top postseason winning percentage for any team in any park with a minimum 20 games. The Phillies lost 3-0 at Atlanta in Game 2 last season, then won Games 3 and 4 of the NLDS at home in front of a raucous home crowd that rattled the the Braves.
