Newcomb crumbles as Braves fall 13-8

The Braves lost an ugly one to Philadelphia, 13-8.

For the third consecutive Monday, the Braves may have to make another post-game tweak to their rotation. After DFA’ing Mike Foltynewicz two weeks ago after a subpar Monday night performance against the Rays, and losing Mike Soroka to an Achilles injury seven days ago, it was Sean Newcomb’s turn for some Monday unpleasantness.

Newcomb, when given an opportunity to lock down a rotation spot for the foreseeable future, put up the worst start of his career, allowing eight runs - all earned - to cross the plate while logging only four outs.
