Friday marked an anticlimactic day for the Atlanta Braves, who dropped game two of a four game series to the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-4. The Braves’ bats were hot, out-hitting the Phils 11-7. Austin Riley extended his hitting streak to nine games, while Marcell Ozuna and Michael Harris II each went deep.
The pitching staff, however, issued seven walks. Three were issued by starter Jared Shuster, and Joe Jimenez, Lucas Luetge, and Collin McHugh each surrendered a base on balls.
Unfortunately for the Braves, closer Craig Kimbrel recorded his 400th career save and became the eighth pitcher in major league history to do so.
