Atlanta's Charlie Morton and Philadelphia's Zack Wheeler will go head-to-head on Saturday when the Braves host the third game of a four-game set between the National League East rivals.
The teams have split the first two contests, with the Braves winning 8-5 on Thursday and the Phillies winning 6-4 on Friday.
Morton is 5-6 with a 4.81 ERA in 17 career starts against Philadelphia. Last season, he made five starts against the Phillies and went 0-1 with a 5.47 ERA in 26 1/3 innings. Wheeler is a native of Atlanta who grew up as a Braves' fan. He is 10-7 with a 3.16 ERA in 24 career starts against Atlanta. He was 2-0 with a 2.70 ERA in three starts against the Braves in 2022, striking out 25 and walking only one in 20 innings.
"That's the first time I've gotten that," Kimbrel said. "As pitchers, we're not used to hitting walk-off homers. I just soaked it in. I thought it might be coming but kind of forgot about it in the middle of the inning."
