The Philadelphia Phillies had their two-game winning streak snapped on Wednesday afternoon, falling to the Braves 9-1. Their record drops to 49-82.
On The Mound

- Eickhoff gave up three runs in the first, and another in the second. He began the third inning by giving up back-to-back doubles, setting up another four-run inning.
- Jesen Therrien relieved Eickhoff, and got through three innings, but gave up three runs of his own.

- Jorge Alfaro went 2-3 with a couple singles and drove in the team’s only run.
- Rhys Hoskins went 1-4 with a single, extending his hitting streak to 11 games.
- Cesar Hernandez went 1-4 with a single.
- Freddy Galvis went 0-2.

Final Thoughts
Well, this was a thoroughly deflating opener to the team’s latest doubleheader.
Jerad Eickhoff, who has had a disappointing season, was lit up early, and left the game with an apparent injury. The team might want to just shut him down at this point, and let him come back next season fresh.
