One day after busting out for 13 runs, the Atlanta Braves were unable to get their offense on track in a 3-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Wednesday’s game began with Charlie Morton and Zack Wheeler locking up in an old fashioned pitcher’s duel. Morton retired the first five hitters he faced before Darick Hall singled in the second. Bryson Stott followed with a fly out to right that Ronald Acuña Jr. made a nice leaping catch on just shy of the wall to end the inning.
Morton hit Kyle Schwarber with two out in the third but struck out Rhys Hoskins to leave him stranded.
