Phillies drop crucial series opener in Atlanta

Final Score: Braves 2, Phillies 1

The Phillies had the tying run on third with two men out in the ninth. Thanks to a two-base error by Eddie Rosario, the Phillies had a chance to break their scoreless streak that exceeded 20 innings and finally get back in the game.

On a 3-2 pitch, Freddy Galvis struck out after getting ahead 3-0 against Will Smith, the oft-maligned Braves closer who is known for losing his command in timely spots and making it interesting in the final frame.
