Atlanta Braves: Dallas Keuchel labors through rough start against the Phillies

The Atlanta Braves are on the cusp of clinching the National League East for the second year in a row. It could happen during the final homestand of the year and I’m almost certain that it will.

However, they’ll have to get through the Phillies who are hoping something works in their favor to get them in the wild card picture.

It looked like Atlanta was going to walk away with Game 1 as they got off to a quick start in the first inning of the game against Vince Velasquez.

Not only was the offense clicking, but Dallas Keuchel was also dealing through the first 3 innings of the game.
