Ryan Howard can't beat Braves by himself: Braves 5, Phillies 1

Things didn't start well for Jerad Eickhoff and the Phillies tonight. Then, they continued not going well for a little while until the game came to its unwell ending.

Eickhoff was hoping to punch through the wet-paper Braves as a means to rebound from his last start. He did not. Very early on, with Atlanta scoring in the first three innings. Nick Markakis led off the game with a single, and would eventually come around to score, thanks to a peppering of hits and a Maikel Franco error.
