PHILADELPHIA (CBS/AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies have had a less-than-ideal start to the season, suffering back-to-back losses to the Atlanta Braves. Following a 9-3 defeat on Opening Day, the Braves dominated the Phillies in a 12-4 victory in their second game of the season.
The day began on a promising note for the Phillies as Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox threw out the ceremonial first pitch.
The Fightins' took an early 3-2 lead by the end of the first inning, courtesy of a Bryson Stott 2-run single.
Phillies' pitcher Aaron Nola took the mound for the first time since signing a seven-year contract extension this past summer and had one of the worst outings of his career.
