"This was an absolute massacre from the bottom of the first inning onwards, as Atlanta went up 3-0 and got outscored 19-1 the rest of the way. Cal Quantrill, Wander Suero and Austin Cox gave up seven dingers on the night, with four of those seven homers coming from Kyle Schwarber by himself. In fact, Schwarber had a shot at five home runs as he got an at-bat against Vidal Bruján, who is a position player."
"The vibes were positive for once in and around Braves Country as the Atlanta Braves entered this four-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies. After all, Atlanta had just gotten done bombing the Marlins over the course of two days and while scoring a big bushel of runs. However, the difficulty level was always going to spike going from the Marlins to the Phillies and in unsurprising fashion, this series went a whole lot differently than the one in Miami did."
The Braves were demolished in Game 1 after taking an early 3-0 lead, getting outscored 19-1 the rest of the way. Cal Quantrill, Wander Suero and Austin Cox surrendered seven home runs, four of them by Kyle Schwarber, who nearly hit five. Vidal Bruján, a Phillies position player pitching, was the only pitcher who kept Schwarber from homering in his at-bat. Atlanta's bullpen and rotation battled over the remaining three games and showed they belonged on the field, but Philadelphia clearly looked like the team preparing for a postseason run while Atlanta tried to avoid further calamities.
