AFTER SCORING a season-high 12 runs the night before, the Phillies only crossed home plate twice in yesterday's 6-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves, who salvaged the series finale behind a strong outing from starting pitcher Julio Teheran.
The Phillies, now 12-3 since the All-Star break, missed out on a chance for their third series sweep of the second half.
"We took three out of four and that's a nice little start," interim manager Pete Mackanin said. "The story was Teheran was good and [Adam] Morgan wasn't sharp; Morgan didn't have real good command of his fastball and he got hurt.
