Braves storm back to trounce Phillies, 7-2

I’m not a big comedy guy. Don’t get me wrong: I like being funny, and I like when others are funny. I just don’t like when the whole point of an enterprise is purely comedy. Which is why, my friends, let me tell you: I love the Philadelphia Phillies bullpen. Now, I don’t mean to imply that their bullpen is necessarily bad. After all, this season, their bullpen has the seventh-most fWAR in baseball. But, nonetheless, it is hilarious, and tonight was as good of an example as that as you’ll find. In brief, the Braves trailed 2-1 heading into the bottom of the eighth, with a trio of solo homers the only scoring in the game.
