A dreadful stretch of performances from the Atlanta Braves ensured Monday's Phillies' game to be the least desirable of Major League Baseball's 15 Labor Day games. The matchup was reflected in the attendance as the smallest crowd in Citizens Bank Park's 12-season history showed up to watch baseball's two worst teams.
An announced 15,125 in the stands for the Phillies' 7-2 loss marked the team's worst attendance since April 23, 2003, when a mere 13,444 attended a win against the Colorado Rockies at Veterans Stadium. Monday's result snapped the Braves' 12-game losing streak, their worst in a single season since 1977, and Atlanta's second win in its last 21 games.
