The Braves’ chances of winning a second straight World Series went up in smoke as they were eliminated from the postseason with an 8-3 loss to the Phillies in Game 4 of the NLDS at Citizens Bank Park. The final spot in the Championship Series will be determined between the New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians. The Yankees forced a Game 5 decider at home, but the game was postponed due to tough weather conditions and is set to be played on Tuesday afternoon.
