PHILADELPHIA — It wasn't a good day for the Philadelphia Phillies (49-83). They lost both games of today's doubleheader to the Atlanta Braves (59-72). Game one was painful, in more ways than one. The Braves' bats pummeled Phillies pitching and starter Jerad Eickhoff left the game with an injury. It's unclear how severe the injury is at this time. Game two wasn't as painful, but still went down as a loss. Mark Leiter Jr. had a solid start, but the bats didn't back him up. The one positive to come out of both games was Rhys Hoskins. He extended his hitting streak to 12 games and has been one of the only bright spots of this season.
The Braves outscored the Phillies 14-3 in the double-header, which is horrendous to say the least. Outfielder Ender Inciarte was a big contributor to the Braves' success. He had eight hits in the doubleheader. The Phillies, as a team, had 13 hits between the two games. R.A. Dickey and Julio Teheran were both dominant for the Braves, combining for 14.2 IP and 17 SO.
