Kyle Muller sharp as Braves defeat Phillies, 5-1
The Atlanta Braves scored five times in the eighth inning to lead them to a 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Kyle Muller got the start for the Braves and looked sharp tossing two scoreless innings allowing just one hit to go along with two strikeouts. Muller is among the group of pitchers that are in competition for a spot in the team’s Opening Day rotation.
Sean Newcomb took over on the mound in the third and tossed a perfect frame including a pair of strikeouts. This is an important spring for Newcomb who is out of options and looking to grab one of the final spots in Atlanta’s bullpen.
