There are many individual games this season that could be ideal microcosms of the Atlanta Braves season as a whole. However, after Sunday’s 2-1 loss to the Phillies despite a second straight amazing performance from Touki Toussaint, the Braves need to look no further than their experiences at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
For the third time this season, a young Braves starter was sensational against the Phillies on the road. Tucker Davidson did it on June 9th, Ian Anderson did the same on June 10th, and Toussaint obviously shined yesterday. However, in each of those games, the Braves lost by one run.
