The host Atlanta Braves edged the Phillies by a 2-1 score last night at Turner Field in something that was once a common occurrence between these two teams, but has become exceedingly rare these days, a true pitcher’s duel.
The Braves 24-year old Julio Teheran and the Phillies rookie 25-year old Adam Morgan were the somewhat unlikely duo matching pitches last night. Only a couple of mistakes by Morgan, one early and one late, proved the difference in the end.
Each of the young starters went 7 full innings.
