Braves hit too line drive bullets and a soft single and come up with a 0 against Wheeler in the first

Strider retires the Philles in order in the first. Ground out, fly out and Harper struck out vs Strider.

Just an infield hit from Harris in the second. Wheeler looking solid. Still 0-0.

Strider looks strong too. 1 soft single in the 2nd, but it remains 0-0.

Braves got a lefty hook single to right by Kelenic but he was caught stealing 2nd by Realmuto. The inning had no hits after that. 0-0 

Nothing doing for the phillies in the 3rd either. Typical opening day cold weather pitcher's duel developing 0-0.

Wheeler making it look eay out there, 1, 2, 3 nothing doing in the braves 4th.

A walk for the phils but Strider allows nothing else still 0-0 after 4 innings

Braves had the first scoring chance of the game but wheeler popped out Acuna. Still 0-0.

phillies cash in with an opposite field homer by marsh 2-0 phillies

Braves bounce back with a 2 run double from pinch hitter Adam Duvall. Bullpen's giving up some runs after wheeler got pulled with 90 pitches.

Phillies bullpen a strength last year, has let them down so far today. 9-2 Braves, Matt Olson's 3 doubles have been big for the Braves 

ends 9-3 Braves.

Game 2:

 

 

 

3-2 phillies when it could have been 2-0 Ump missed a fastball down the  middle to retire the side.

Game has really weird energy 7-4 braves after they took Fried out in the first inning. Nola still laboring thru 4 having given up 7 runs

11-4 braves after a big top of the 6th. slowest game i've seen in awhile
