ATLANTA — No one said it was going to be easy and the Atlanta Braves ratcheted up the difficulty level by dropping Game 1 to the Philadelphia Phillies 3-0. They will now have to win three of the next four games to avoid another Division Series defeat and will have to go through Philadelphia’s two best pitchers in Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola to do so.
Big picture aside, as Brian Snitker said Saturday night, all they can do now is turn their focus to Game 2 to try and get a win to even up the series.
