Phillies fall despite Herrera's unreal HR rob

PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies center fielder Odubel Herrera might have made the catch of the year Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park. But the Phillies needed more than that in a 4-1 loss to the Braves.

Herrera robbed Freddie Freeman of a two-run home run when he leaped high above the center-field fence in the third inning. But the Braves already had a 3-0 lead at that point as Phillies right-hander Nick Pivetta allowed six hits, four runs, three walks and struck out six in five innings.
