Last week, the Braves somehow prevailed in a Jake Odorizzi-Aaron Nola matchup, in exciting fashion. On Friday night, with their worst single-game odds of the year, they couldn’t do it twice, getting walloped by the Phillies and dropping their third game in a row. To be honest, this game doesn’t really warrant a full recap, as the Braves more or less sealed their fate early.
The Phillies started the bottom of the second with back-to-back singles off Odorizzi. The second of those was a slow roller by Brandon Marsh that let Alec Bohm go first-to-third on the unimpressive arm of Robbie Grossman, who was forced into right field duty due to the continued absence of Ronald Acuña Jr.
