Josh Donaldson, Kevin Gausman debut as Braves defeat Phillies

Ray-Patrick Didder scored the winning run on a fielding error by Phil Gosselin in the bottom of the ninth to give the Atlanta Braves a 5-4 come-from-behind win over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Josh Donaldson and Kevin Gausman made their spring debuts for Atlanta. Donaldson popped up to second in his first at bat and walked in second. He made a nice play snagging a line drive in the first inning that saved a run. Gausman was a bit rusty allowing four hits and three runs in 1 1/3 innings.

The Phillies plated a pair of runs in the first against Gausman on a sacrifice fly by Nick Williams and an RBI single by Sean Rodriguez.
