Francoeur's homer delivers 2-1 win to Braves over Phillies

A low-scoring affair went the Braves way as the Phillies were unable to overcome Jeff Francoeur's two-run homer off of Andrew Bailey in the seventh inning. Chris Withrow was the only Atlanta pitcher to allow a run on the afternoon.

I admit, I've been hard on Jeff Francoeur, and the franchise that continues to employ Jeff Francoeur and deploy him against right-handed pitchers. Luckily for the Braves, what I think is irrelevant, as Jeff Francoeur hit a two-run homer off of a right-handed pitcher to give the Braves a 2-1 win and a series split against the Philadelphia Phillies.
