Philadelphia Phillies vs. Atlanta Braves in 2023 NL Division Series: Schedule, game times, TV
Bring on the Braves!
After dispatching of the Miami Marlins in a two-game sweep in the Wild Card Series, the Philadelphia Phillies will look to repeat history as they take on the Atlanta Braves in the National League Division Series for the second year in a row.
Last year, the Phillies topped the Braves 3-1 in the best-of-5 NLDS on their way to the World Series before falling to the Houston Astros. Like last season, the Phils earned a Wild Card spot while the Braves captured the NL East division.

What was the score of the Phillies game?
Game 3: Phillies 10-Braves 2
Bryce Harper answered Orlando Arcia’s mockery with a mammoth three-run homer and a solo shot, glaring at the shortstop on each trot around the bases, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 10-2 in Game 3 of their NL Division Series on Wednesday night.
Nick Castellanos homered twice as Philadelphia rebounded from its disappointing loss at Atlanta on Monday night. Trea Turner and Brandon Marsh also went deep.
Aaron Nola (2-0) and four relievers combined to push the 104-win Braves to the brink of elimination. The Phillies can advance to the NL Championship Series for the second straight season with a win at home Thursday.

Game 2: Braves 5-Phillies 4
ATLANTA (AP) — After being held hitless into the sixth inning, the Atlanta Braves rallied for an improbable 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies to even the NL Division Series at one win apiece.
Travis d’Arnaud and Austin Riley each hit a two-run homer, and a game-ending double play for the ages wrapped things up for the Braves. D’Arnaud gave the Braves hope with his shot into the left-field seats in the seventh, cutting Philadelphia’s lead to 4-3.
Riley won it with his homer into the Phillies bullpen with two outs in the eighth. A great catch by Michael Harris II and an alert backup and throw by Riley ended the game on a double play.
Game 1: Phillies 3-Braves 0
ATLANTA (AP) — Bryce Harper homered, Ranger Suárez and the Philadelphia bullpen stifled baseball’s most prolific offense, and the Phillies blanked the 104-win Atlanta Braves 3-0 in Game 1 of the NL Division Series.
The East champion Braves find themselves in exactly the same position as a year ago: trailing the Phillies after the opener in Atlanta.
Wild-card series hero Bryson Stott broke a scoreless tie with a run-scoring single in the fourth. Harper padded the lead with a drive over the right-field wall in the sixth off Spencer Strider, baseball’s only 20-game winner.
The mood turned ugly in the eighth when the Phillies tacked on their final run courtesy of catcher interference against Sean Murphy. J.T. Realmuto fouled off a pitch with the bases loaded, but his bat barely nicked Murphy's mitt to force in a run.
After the call was reviewed and upheld, there was a brief delay when a handful of fans threw trash on the field.
