31–24 already ran. 27–7 already ran. This is Tuesday’s unused first Wild Card box.
AP, Tuesday 6:02 p.m. ET, via ESPN: Austin Riley hit a three-run homer off All-Star closer Jhoan Duran in the eighth, and the Atlanta Braves rallied past the Philadelphia Phillies 5–3 in Game 1 of a best-of-three National League Wild Card Series at Truist Park. Atlanta leads the series 1–0. Attendance 30,127. Game time 2:26. That is the finished box. We will not invent Game 2.
ESPN box: Philadelphia led 1–0 in the first on Alec Bohm’s double that scored Kyle Schwarber. Atlanta tied it in the second on Mike Yastrzemski’s single that scored Ozzie Albies, then led 2–1 in the sixth on Albies’s triple that scored Michael Harris II. J.T. Realmuto tripled in the seventh, scoring Bryan De La Cruz and Bryson Stott, 3–2 Phillies. Riley’s homer to right-center, 385 feet, scored Harris and Albies in the eighth, 5–3. Jesús Luzardo: 5.0 innings, 3 hits, 1 earned, 1 walk, 6 strikeouts, 77 pitches. Winner: Dylan Lee 1–0. Loser: Duran 0–1. Save: Raisel Iglesias. Midday already filed the unused Lions 31–24. We will not reprint that as first-day news.
ESPN scoreboard at 7 p.m. ET: White Sox 5, Astros 2, Game 1, in progress. That is not a final. Red Sox at Yankees is listed 8:00 p.m. ET — not started. Cubs at Padres is 10:00 p.m. — not started. We will not invent those scores.
What this means for you
If you needed this afternoon’s unused football, it still stands 31–24. If you needed tonight’s unused baseball, it is 5–3 in Atlanta. If you needed Houston or the Bronx, wait.
Bottom line: Braves 5–3. Riley in the eighth. Series 1–0. Not Houston. Not 8 p.m.
