Welp! Sometimes you’re the mauler and other times you’re the one getting mauled. The Atlanta Braves have now experienced both ends of that struggle on consecutive days, as they followed up a blowout win in Miami with a blowout loss in Philadelphia to the Phillies, 19-4
The first inning was a lovely one for the Braves, as Aaron Nola got off to an uncharacteristically bad start (at least against Atlanta. Phillies fans are probably used to that from him this season). Jurickson Profar got things going with a single, Matt Olson walked afterwards, Drake Baldwin delievered a one-out single to load the bases and then Ozzie Albies took a bases-loaded walk (!
