A night after scoring a season-high 13 runs on 17 hits, the Phillies’ offense was quiet on Saturday, something that’s happened a bit too much this week. Their 13-run outburst on Friday followed a three-game series in Houston where they scored just one run against the Astros. With their 6-1 loss to the Braves in Atlanta on Saturday, the Phillies have now scored one or no runs in four of their last five games.
Braves starter Spencer Schwellenbach mowed through the Phillies’ lineup for seven innings. After giving up a double to Kyle Schwarber with one out in the top of the first, Schwellenbach retired 15 straight Phillies hitters, striking out 10.
