For Ronald Acuña Jr. and Spencer Strider, their first game in Philadelphia since last season’s opener did not go as hoped as the Philadelphia Phillies (35-19) defeated the Atlanta Braves (25-28) by a score of 2-0 to open the teams’ second series of the season.
After getting plunked twice last Friday, in his first AB against Strider, Bryce Harper was hit in the elbow by an 0-1 fastball in the bottom of the first and had to exit the game. Reports are it was precautionary and is just a bruise.
