Beer cans and trash littered the outfield at Truist Park in Atlanta on October 7, after Braves fans got angry about a questionable call made during Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Braves catcher Sean Murphy was called for interference in the eighth inning of their NL Division Series opener against Philadelphia on Saturday night, bringing home a run for the Phillies. The call was made by plate umpire Brian O’Nora with J.T. Realmuto batting with the bases loaded and two outs. Trea Turner scored to give Philadelphia a 3-0 lead.
They ranked high in the NL West. When they challenged close calls at first base, hit by pitch, and tag plays, their success rate was higher than average in the Majors.
