Phillies' big bats go cold as bruised Braves lineup squeaks out series-opening win originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
ATLANTA — This Braves lineup is battered and bruised beyond any other club in Major League Baseball this season.

Instead, the Braves found a way to squeak out a series-opening victory over the Phillies, 3-1.
