The Braves had an opportunity to set the franchise monthly wins record outright and complete a three game sweep with a win over the Phillies on Thursday. Things did not go according to plan for Atlanta, however.
The first inning was a pretty boring one, with a barreled out from Dansby Swanson and a single from Nick Castellanos being the highlights. The second was much more interesting, as the Braves loaded the bases one some strong BABIP luck and scored on an Orlando Arcia ground ball that looked like an inning ending double play before Didi Gregorius appeared to forget how many outs there were.
