Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna got some cold-blooded chanting from Phillies fans Friday afternoon as they mocked his August DUI arrest.

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

And Phillies fans were happy to remind him of that moment as they yelled ‘DUI’ at him during the second inning of Friday’s 9-1 win over Atlanta in Game 3 of the NLDS.

When Ozuna received the chants, he swung and missed a pitch from Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola, and the play was emblematic of how the game went for Atlanta.

Rhys Hoskins hit a three-run homer, Bryce Harper added a home run, a double and three RBIs as the Phillies took a 2-1 series lead.

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

Nola pitched over six innings and allowed five hits and one unearned run along with six strikeouts and two walks.
