The Braves starters aren’t resting. Fortunately, neither are the Phillies’ bats.
The Phillies got off to a solid start tonight against Kyle Wright, with Kyle Schwarber walking and Trea Turner singling. Unfortunately a groundout by Bryce Harper, a lineout by Alec Bohm, and a groundout by Bryson Stott ended the inning without damage done to the Braves, though some may have been dealt to the psyches of Phillies fans, frustrated by another empty first inning. Further psychological damage was done in the bottom of the first, as Ozzie Albies slammed a Zach Wheeler pitch to deep right to take a 1-0 lead.
