Only one MLB Wild Card Series has reached a deciding third game. The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Atlanta Braves 4-3 in 10-innings Wednesday afternoon to force a Game 3 in their National League Wild Card Series. The victory came after Bryce Harper missed a fly ball that allowed Atlanta to build a 3-1 lead through six innings. But Harper redeemed himself when he and Kyle Schwarber hit back-to-back home runs in the next inning. Alec Bohm hit a game-winning home run in the top of the tenth.
