The Atlanta Braves face the Philadelphia Phillies at 7:10 p.m. ET and we have the score for you with color commentary and play-by-play as two N.L. East rivals face off for the second time this season. This live blog is for those who can't watch the game or simply want to watch the game on mute and follow the game somewhere else.
The Braves are coming off a huge victory in which their offense powered them through the Phillies. Their pitching held on just enough to get the victory. The Braves whacked Cole Hamels around smacking three homers off the Phillies' ace. In total, the Braves racked up three homers and only Jason Heyward and B.J. Upton went without hits. Freddie Freeman had the biggest night with a homer and going 3-4 in the game.
The Phillies' offense depending on Chase Utley. who tried bringing his team back needing just a double to complete the cycle. He smacked a home run, drove in three runs and scored twice for the Phillies.
On the mound tonight, former ace, Roy Halladay pitches for the Phillies. He will have to stay away from Freeman, who has three homers and nine runs batted in against Doc. Justin Upton will look to continue impressing Braves fans and is batting 2-6 against Halladay in his career.
The Braves will have Paul Maholm on the mound. He will be sporting a new offspeed breaking ball that is likely to have hitters offbalance throughout the game. The present Phillies haven't been too successful off of Maholm, but the lefty's ERA is above 5.00 despite having a 4-2 record against Philadelphia.
The Braves are attempting to solidify their run in the N.L. East as they are expected to smack a lot of home runs and score a lot of runs to back up their pitching staff. The Phillies are trying to convince the baseball world that they are still competitive and relevant in the East, which is now a two-team race.
