When the Braves won the 2021 World Series, they did not face an elimination game. This year, they’ll have to save their season in a very hostile environment.

In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Braves Report podcast, AJC Braves beat reporter Justin Toscano and features reporter Gabriel Burns discuss what went wrong in Atlanta’s 9-1 loss to the Phillies in Game 3 of the National League Division Series Friday.

Our team will dig into what caused Spencer Strider to hit the wall in the third inning, why Atlanta’s offense is struggling and what to expect from Charlie Morton in Game 4 Saturday.
