It was supposed to be the series to get us Phillies fans excited again. Coming in on a bit of a hot streak, while the Braves were struggling. Well, the Phillies pitching was the prescription the Braves’ bats needed, but the Phils’ did rebound in power hitting fashion to take game three, 9-4.
The first two games of the series were a lopsided affair. The Braves had scored 24 runs to the Phils’ 9, exposing a bullpen that’s already struggling to find an identity.
Give credit to the Braves, they made the Phillies pay for their mistakes.
