The Phillies missed an opportunity to complete a four-game sweep of the Braves, losing 3-1 as their bullpen faltered, with Jose Alvarado allowing a decisive two-run homer to Drake Baldwin in the ninth. Despite a strong start from Jesus Luzardo, who pitched 6.2 shutout innings, and a solo home run by Brandon Marsh, the Phillies left multiple runners stranded, finishing August with an 18-11 record.
