Braves 6, Phillies 3Game 2 - Thursday Night, April 11th in Philadelphia
Record - 0-2, Tied for 4th Place, 2 games behind the Cubs and Mets
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies scored three times in the first, but then put their bats away for the rest of the game, as the Braves won 6-3.
What It Means: New Phillies manager John Felske would need to wait a little longer to notch his first big league win as a skipper.
What Happened: Mike Schmidt and Bo Diaz had the first RBIs of the season for the Phils as Schmidt had a sacrifice fly and Diaz added a two-run single in the first. Juan Samuel had a pair of hits and his first stolen base of the season. The Braves took the lead for good in the third, scoring three times in a rally started after Schmidt booted a ball at third. Dale Murphy went 3 for 5 with a home run and 3 RBIs for the Braves.
John Denny lasted only four innings in his first start of the season, allowing four runs (two earned) on 10 hits. Kevin Gross pitched two scoreless innings of relief.
Featured Card: Depending on how long this side project lasts, I'll most likely repeat some Schmidt cards featured in prior posts on this blog. Here's a great card from the 1985 Donruss set showing off Schmidt's glorious head of hair.
