Comeback bid falls short for Braves in 5-4 loss to Phillies

Dallas Keuchel has been lights-out for weeks and, through three innings on Tuesday evening, the former Cy Young winner looked to be in complete control. However, things went south for the left-hander and, with a five-run barrage as the catalyst, the Philadelphia Phillies upended the Atlanta Braves by a final score of 5-4 in the series opener.

It was the Braves that struck first on Tuesday evening, with Ozzie Albies putting on a show in contributing a triple in the first inning.

After Freddie Freeman earned a walk, Josh Donaldson brought Albies to the plate with a sacrifice fly and the Braves took a 1-0 lead.
