Atlanta, GA — The Philadelphia Phillies (20-35) continue their four-game series with the Atlanta Braves (24-31) on Tuesday night at SunTrust Park.
The Phillies won game one of the series by a convincing 11-4 final score as the offense hit four home runs and their 2-3-4 four hitters led the way. Odubel Herrera, Aaron Altherr and Tommy Joseph combined to go 9-for-14 at the plate with three doubles, three homers, eight RBIs and six runs scored. Herrera has hit two doubles in each of the last three games.
Tonight in game two, Aaron Nola will look to get back on track against Braves left-hander Jaime Garcia

Aaron Nola's last start: Nola has lost his last three decisions and his most recent outing was the shortest of his season. The former first round pick out of LSU lasted just three innings, giving up four runs on five hits, walking one and striking out four. In 16 innings since his return from the disabled list, Nola has a 5.63 ERA.
Jaime Garcia's last start: Garcia went 1-2 with a 2.45 ERA in May and his last outing may have been the best of the season. In seven innings of work, the southpaw allowed just one run on five hits. He's faced the Phillies once this season, tossing six innings of two-run ball in a Braves loss.
