The Atlanta Braves are looking to sweep the Philadelphia Phillies on the road tonight after they took the first two games of the series. The Braves got out to a 1-0 lead in the second inning, but this all changed quickly.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson gave up seven runs in the bottom of the second inning as the Phillies offense erupted. Anderson was pulled following the inning but the damage had already been done.

Many Atlanta Braves fans were livid about Anderson's outing. Anderson came in with a 6-4 record with a 4.60 ERA. Following his outing tonight, Anderson's ERA is 5.31. The Braves may need to improve on their starting pitching going forward. Anderson has been inconsistent all season.

The Braves were put in an early hole due to a terrible outing, giving little hope of a comeback victory.

It was a good series for the Braves despite their likely loss in tonight's game. Taking two out of three games from the Phillies on the road is impressive and something to build off of.
