Following the wacky collection of weird incidents that was last night’s win for the Phillies, the Braves are going to be heading back to CItizens Bank Park today looking to even the series and hopefully set the record straight against one of their divisional rivals.
With that being said, it would’ve been real nice if the Braves had held on to the lead they had last night, since tonight figures to be tougher due to the presence of Aaron Nola on the mound for the Phillies. Nola has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season and the Braves got a taste of that back in late-May when he pitched into the ninth inning with just one run allowed while racking up 10 strikeouts and not walking anybody.
