While the Atlanta Braves slugged their way to a win over one of the worst teams in baseball Tuesday night, the Phillies fell, 2-1, to the best team in baseball, the Boston Red Sox. Citizens Bank Park sounded like Fenway South at various points during the game, including when Brock Holt broke a 1-1 tie in the top of the eighth by slamming a first-pitch cutter from righthander Tommy Hunter off the scoreboard in right field.
The Phillies (65-53), after sitting atop the National League East for 38 straight days through Sunday, have fallen two games behind the Braves, who have won 13 of their last 17 and get another crack at the Miami Marlins on Wednesday.
