PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Rhys Hoskins hit a three-run homer and Bryce Harper also went deep, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 9-1 win over the Atlanta Braves in Game 3 of their NL Division Series. The Phillies lead 2-1 in the best-of-five matchup and can advance to the NL Championship Series with a Game 4 win at home Saturday. The Phillies scored six runs in the third inning to turn the game into a rout. Hoskins was in a 1-for-19 postseason slump when he homered off Braves rookie Spencer Strider. Aaron Nola allowed one unearned run to pick up the win.
