With a sweep of the hapless Athletics, the Phillies completed a successful western road trip through Arizona and Oakland. They’ll return home to take on a divisional opponent which is doing pretty well in its own right.
Atlanta Braves
Record: 46-26, First place in National League East
The last time they met
The Phillies visited Atlanta over Memorial Day weekend and split a four-game set. The series ended on an unfortunate note as a Sunday Night Baseball audience “enjoyed” a Dylan Covey vs. Spencer Strider “showdown” which went about as well as you would expect.
