Result: Loss
Philadelphia at Atlanta 7:20 ET
Braves over Phillies- The 'Red-Hot' Braves trailing 8-3 in the eighth inning rallied for their 23rd win in their last 32 games and increased their lead in the NL East to 2.5 games. Philadelphia has fallen off the pace of late and will start Aaron Nola (6-1, 4.58 ERA) who has been a winner because of the lavish run support that he has received from his teammates who have averaged 6.5 runs per start. Nola is 8-3 lifetime against Atlanta who will start Sean Newcomb (1-0, 2.59) a replacement starter for Kevin Gausman and is 3-2 lifetime against the Phillies. Since being assigned to the bullpen Newcomb has allowed three runs in 19 innings with a 1.42 ERA walking just two. Take ATLANTA!
