The Phillies fell in their series opener against Atlanta, despite Cristopher Sanchez’s solid six-inning outing, as Chris Sale outdueled him with just two runs allowed. Offensively, Luis Arraez and Alec Bohm led the charge with two hits apiece, Bohm driving in both runs — but it wasn’t enough. The loss dropped Philly’s playoff magic number to 16 and left them five games back in the division. Saturday’s game features Zack Wheeler, coming off a shaky August, facing Martin Perez — and the Phillies need a big win to stay alive, especially with Houston’s help looming.
