Phillies 7, Braves 4
Walk this way! 20 free passes issued
Amidst the rain, the Phillies sludged out 7 runs, enough to beat the equally soaked Braves by a 7-4 score. Base runners were plentiful, with a total of 20 walks to go with 7 hits for each squad. Kelly "Peeks" Pieklo paces the Phils with 2 hits and 3 RBI, and also picked up the save in relief of Bryan Shirley (1-0), who struggled with his control late but struck out eight to pick up the win. The Braves, meanwhile certainly had their share of base runners but couldn't seem to bring them in, getting a big four-hit game from Matt Travaille. Sean "Rocket" Pabon (0-1) took the loss for the Braves. Both clubs are now even at 1-1.
