Atlanta Braves News: The Morning Chop, Box Score, Mallex Smith Returns

Tomahawk Take Editor’s Note: The Atlanta Braves have now won four games in a row after beating the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night. Braves starter, Joel De La Cruz pitched well enough to pick up a win, but the 27-year-old is still winless in 2016. He pitched five innings, gave up six hits, four runs, two walks and had five strikeouts. It was a rough first inning as he gave up a leadoff walk and a double to Ryan Howard as well as an even rougher second inning. De La Cruz started the second inning giving up a single, double and then a homer to A.
