September 12 - As the Philadelphia Phillies inch toward a potential second consecutive playoff berth, bullpen success will become even more vital.
The Phillies (79-65) will now look for a lead in the four-game series when they host the Braves again on Tuesday.
"Our bullpen is gonna be the difference if we win or lose ballgames," Kimbrel told NBC Sports Philadelphia after the game.
Following the frustrating loss in the opener, the bullpen was a major reason why the Phillies came up with a split.
Edmundo Sosa doubled, singled and knocked in two runs for Philadelphia in the second contest, and Brandon Marsh added a solo homer.
