Braves search for rock bottom in ugly 12-2 loss to Phillies

The Braves are hoping that they have found rock bottom after a 12-2 loss to the Phillies on Saturday evening.

Say hello to rock bottom.

We hope.

The Atlanta Braves were unceremoniously bludgeoned on Saturday evening. Amusingly, the Braves took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning, but from there, it was all about the Philadelphia Phillies, who scored eleven (!) runs over a three-inning period on the way to a 12-2 blowout victory.

Saturday's match-up between Matt Wisler and Aaron Nola was billed as a potential pitcher's duel, but Wisler failed to hold up his end of the bargain.
