The Phillies lost to the Braves 1-0 today to complete a three-game sweep in Atlanta. That's right. The Braves, the team the Phillies have been battling for the worst record in baseball, swept the Phillies. The Phillies now have a four-game lead on the Braves for the worst record, and if this series didn't cement the Phillies as the worst team in baseball for 2015, then nothing will. A total of nine runs were scored this weekend. TOTAL. BOTH TEAMS COMBINED SCORED NINE RUNS. I MEAN COME ON.
Through most of the game today, the Phillies were utterly confounded by Braves pitching.
