It is actually the third consecutive defeat for the Atlanta Braves at the hands of the Phillies, who have given them more trouble head-to-head than anyone else in the National League East this season.
Atlanta will be glad to see the Phillies move on after tomorrow’s series finale, in all likelihood the final matchup between the two clubs until 2020.
On Wednesday night, the story was that of average starting pitching, and very little offense to mention.
Julio Teheran took the hill for the Atlanta Braves, and while his final stat line certainly isn’t “bad”, the right-hander wasn’t the impressive version of himself we have seen several times in 2019.
