A good start by Mike Foltynewicz went to waste almost immediately after he exited the game. Arodys Vizcaino entered in the bottom of the eighth inning and promptly gave up two consecutive home runs to the Phillies, and then Ian Krol entered and he gave up a dinger as well. A 2-2 game became 5-2, and that’s how the Braves lost their sixth straight game.
The Braves called up Aaron Blair last week so that he could be used as a long relief man in case a game scenario came to that point.
