Fresh off of an eight-game, three city road trip, the Atlanta Braves return home to open up a seven game home stand with a three-game set against the Philadelphia Phillies. Atlanta went 4-4 on their trip winning the series in Colorado, dropping 2 out of 3 to the Nationals and then splitting two games in Chicago before Sunday’s rainout.
The Braves missed an opportunity to return home 5-3 but blew a 10-2 lead to the Cubs thanks to a nine-run eighth inning. Weather conditions were awful for both teams, but walks led to Atlanta’s demise.
