The Phillies (6-12) played two games tonight, or at least it appeared that way. Unfortunately for them, there was just one true outcome. After getting a brilliant start from David Buchanan and taking a 2-0 lead into the top of the 7th, the bullpen collapsed in the late innings, surrendering the lead and resulting in a 5-2 Braves victory.

The first four innings proved to be a continuation of the goose eggs that the two teams put up last night, when the Phils scored in the bottom of the 9th to win it 1-0.
