Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna received cold-blooded chants from Phillies fans on Friday afternoon as they mocked his arrest for drink-driving in August.

Ozuna was arrested in the early hours of August 19 and booked into the Gwinett County Jail after being caught speeding and failing to maintain the lane.

And Phillies fans liked to remind him of that moment when they chanted “DUI” at him during the second inning of Friday’s 9-1 win over Atlanta in NLDS Game 3.

When Ozuna heard the chants, he waved and missed on a pitch from Phillies’ righthander Aaron Nola, and the game was symbolic of how the game went for Atlanta.

Rhys Hoskins homered for three runs, Bryce Harper added a homer, double and three RBI’s as the Phillies took a 2-1 lead in the series.

Nick Castellanos also contributed two hits and two RBI’s and Bryson Stott had an RBI double for the Phillies, who played their first playoff game at home since 2011.

Nola threw six-plus innings and gave up five hits and one unearned run along with six strikeouts and two walks.

Travis d’Arnaud hit two doubles and Michael Harris II added an RBI single for the defending World Series champion Braves.

Braves-starter Spencer Strider (0-1) lasted only 2 1/3 innings and gave up three hits and five runs with four strikeouts and two walks. It was Strider’s first performance since September 18.

After an intentional walk to Kyle Schwarber, Hoskins launched a three-run homer to the left for a 4-0 lead.

JT Realmuto singled and Harper added a two-run shot for an impressive 6-0 advantage.

Harper hit an RBI double in the seventh, which nearly caught Harris at the fence, for a 7-1 lead. Castellanos followed with a two-run single for an eight-run advantage.

Game 4 will be played on Saturday afternoon.
