The Phillies are in search of their first win of the season on Sunday as the team takes on the Braves at home.
Everything that could go wrong for the Philadelphia Phillies since Zach Wheeler left the game on opening day after six strong innings on the mound, has. The Phillies are now 0-2 after dropping both games of their opening series with the Braves. While yesterday’s game started off with a heartwarming celebration of longtime Eagles’ linemen Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox throwing out the first pitch, it went downhill from there and ended in a 12-4 loss. The team managed eight hits in yesterday’s game, led by Bryson Stott who went 3-for-4 with two RBI, but the pitching staff had a hard time dealing with the hard-hitting offense of the Braves. With some athletic plays defensively from the likes of Bryce Harper and some offensive plays from last season’s heavy hitters like J.T. Realmuto and Kyle Schwarber, there are glimmers of hope for the year, but the team needs to find some momentum.

The Braves seem to be firing on all cylinders so far and have outscored the Phillies 21-7 in just two games. Yesterday’s performance showed that the team is ready to cement itself at the top of the NL East standings early and make it their home throughout the season. With four home runs in the game for the Braves that brought in seven total runs, Atlanta is in good shape offensively. The team finished the game with an impressive 19 hits to show they will be able to produce offensive even without home runs. Ozzie Albies and Marcell Ozuna each finished the game with three RBI alone which would have been enough to beat the Phillies with the way they have played the past two games.
Tune in Sunday to see if the Phils can bounce back and find a way to pull out a win and avoid the sweep.
