Phillies drop series opener to Braves | Sixers lose 12th straight, clinch fifth worst record

Zack Wheeler didn’t have his best stuff in this one, but he wasn’t helped either by a defensive miscue in centerfield, when a routine fly ball dropped between Johan Rojas and Edmundo Sosa, as the Phillies lose the series opener 7-5. Kyle Schwarber finished a double shy of the cycle and Nick Castellanos had three hits, but the offense only had one base runner in the last five innings. Phillies fall to 7-3 on the season. Taijuan Walker gets the start tonight.
