We shouldn’t have been this annoyed this early in the season. But after watching the Phillies get their pitching staff battered by Braves hitting in two consecutive losses, the fans were understandably a little agitated. Then, when the team fell behind once again on Sunday, it felt like half the fan base was ready to give up on the season.
But instead of quietly going down to a season opening sweep, the Phillies’ offense rallied to score three runs in the seventh inning. Thanks to that comeback, they earned a 5-4 win over the Braves that takes 0-162 off the table.
