The Atlanta Braves entered Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies with an MLB-worst 1-8 record. The Braves lost seven straight to begin the season before a 10-0 win over the Miami Marlins on Friday.
Then the Braves lost 4-0 to the Marlins, so it has been a frustrating start for a team with playoff hopes and aspirations. While the Braves were losing games left and right, one big injury piece was catcher Sean Murphy.
During the spring, the Braves saw Murphy suffer a cracked rib, and he was sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks.
