Braves fall to Phils, lose ground atop NL East

PHILADELPHIA -- Luiz Gohara couldn't quite get out of trouble in the third or fourth innings of his first start of 2018.

The 21-year-old lefty was hurt by walks and some tough luck in the Braves' 4-0 loss to the Phillies in the rubber match of a three-game set on Wednesday night. The defeat gave the Braves their first series loss to the Phillies in four tries this season, but they still leave town with a half-game lead in the National League East.
