Freddie Freeman inside-outed a single into left field that scored Ronald Acuna Jr. in the second inning of Monday night’s Atlanta Braves victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Beyond symbolizing that the Braves simply have a better team than the Phillies in 2019, the RBI served as a reminder that the Braves have put together a lineup that mauls the Phillies specifically.
If it feels like Freeman drives in a run every game or two that he plays against the Phillies, it’s because he does. Last night was Freeman’s 159th career game against the Phillies, and the run he drove in was his 95th against the Phillies.
