Phillies tangle with Braves in battle of winning streaks

Following Wednesday's win over the Washington Nationals, Joe Girardi answered several questions about possible upcoming postponements.

And a postponement is exactly what came less than 24 hours later.

The Philadelphia Phillies manager said he would support any decision to stand up against racial and social injustice. A few hours before Thursday's game, the Phillies decided not to play the finale against the Nationals in protest of 29-year-old Jacob Blake being shot in the back seven times by a white police officer in Kenosha, Wis.

"I would tell them to go with their heart," Girardi said Wednesday after recording his 1,000th career managerial win.
