Braves begin favorable home stretch vs. Phillies (Jun 05, 2017)

ATLANTA — After playing just 22 home games during the first two months of the season, the Atlanta Braves are at SunTrust Park for 18 games in June.

“It seems like we have been on the road most of the time,” manager Brian Snitker said. “We haven’t really been at home enough yet to get comfortable with the new ballpark.”

That will change when the Braves play only three of the next 21 games away from Atlanta. The favorable schedule starts Monday with the perfect opponent if you judge by road records this season.

The Philadelphia Phillies swept a home series from the Braves in April, but they have the majors’ worst mark away from home at 7-21.
