Photo by Todd Kirkland/Getty ImagesThe Atlanta Braves will look to avoid a sweep and snap a two-game skid in the process when they wrap up their season series against the Philadelphia Phillies on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball. This will be the second straight week that the Braves and Phillies meet on the World Wide Leader’s showcase game.
After falling in extra innings Friday, Zach Eflin held Atlanta’s offense in check Saturday in a 4-1 loss that dropped Atlanta to 18-14 on the season. The Phillies have now won five straight games and are back at .500 for the season at 14-14 and just two games back of the Braves.
