The Philadelphia Phillies aren't ready to go home. Philadelphia beat the Atlanta Braves 4-3 in 10 innings on Wednesday to even their National League Wild Card Series at a game apiece, forcing a decisive, winner-take-all Game 3.

Right-hander A. Painter picked up the win for Philadelphia, working through the extra frame to keep the Braves off the board, while Atlanta reliever D. Fuentes was charged with the loss after Atlanta couldn't hold a late lead. The result came one night after the Braves blanked the Phillies to open the series, meaning both clubs have now traded wins heading into a single game that will decide who advances.

Philadelphia, which has made deep October runs in recent years but has yet to get back to a World Series since 2022, will need to lean on its bullpen and a lineup that has been streaky throughout the series. Atlanta, meanwhile, is trying to avoid an early exit after entering the postseason with championship expectations of its own.

Game 3 is expected to be played on short rest, with both teams' relief corps already taxed from Wednesday's extra-inning marathon. Full live scoring and matchup details for the decisive game, along with the rest of this week's Wild Card action, continued to be updated Wednesday night. Current bracket positioning across both leagues can be tracked via MLB's wild card standings.

Whichever team wins Thursday advances to face the top seed in the National League Division Series. For Philadelphia, a win would extend a deep-October reputation built over the last several seasons; for Atlanta, it would stave off what would otherwise be viewed as a disappointing finish to a season with higher aspirations.
