Error 0:

Every day until Opening Day arrives, Phillies Nation will take a daily look back at a regular season victory from that particular day in history that you can watch in full in lieu of live Phillies baseball. Think of it is as your daily Phillies watch recommendation.

In the first series of the season, the defending World Champion Philadelphia Phillies were looking to avoid a sweep against the rival Atlanta Braves. The team did not get off to a hot start. Joe Blanton pitched just four innings, giving up seven earned runs. After being down 10-3 heading into the bottom of the seventh, the Phillies sent 13 men to the plate and scored 8 runs to take an 11-10 lead.
