Series Preview: Atlanta Braves battle Phillies for first place in NL East

A lot has changed since that opening series of the season when the Phillies embarrassed the Atlanta Braves in Philadelphia.

In that three-game series, the Phillies swept the Braves and outscored them 23-11.

Kyle Wright and Bryse Wilson both made a start in that series, and both are now in Triple-A.

Luke Jackson gave up a grand slam in the first game, but has turned his season around and is now the team’s closer.

Shane Carle, Wes Parsons, Jonny Venters, Jesse Biddle, and Chad Sobotka all pitched out of the bullpen in that series and — to this point — none of them are on the active roster.
