Just. Win. The. Series. It really is that simple for the Atlanta Braves.
While it would have been great for the Braves to close out Saturday night’s game, increasing their lead in the division was the only thing important about this series and they did that.
And let’s be honest, they stole Friday’s game anyways, so it all balanced out.
The Braves hammered out 19 hits against a Phillies’ pitching staff that surrendered 13 earned runs in the three-game series.
With their win Sunday, the Braves are now 6-1 on the current home stand and 12-3 in their last 15 games.
