The Atlanta Braves will be looking for some measure of revenge this weekend when they begin the home portion of their 2021 MLB regular season with a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Atlanta was swept in a three-game set at Philadelphia last weekend to open the season. The Braves scored a total of three runs during that series and endured an 18-inning scoreless streak.
Atlanta’s offense recovered in Washington as they scored 14 runs in three games, including two seven-inning contests on Wednesday. They were in position to win the first game before the bullpen faltered late and swept the doubleheader to escape with their first series win of the year.
