Final Score: Phillies 7, Braves 3
One day after the Philadelphia Phillies won a game they probably didn’t fully deserve to win, they began a crucial NL East road trip with a win over the Atlanta Braves they definitely did deserve to win.
The Phillies’ offense — which scored all of 10 earned runs in a tough six-game homestand last week — nearly approached that total on Monday, scoring seven runs on 10 hits. That was more than enough for Zack Wheeler, who fired 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball and struck out 10 along the way.
