Phillies-Braves Game 2: How to Watch Online, Start Time, TV Info and More
Game two between the Phillies and Braves will hopefully go better than the day’s opener
Is it over? The Phillies dropped game one of the doubleheader 9-1 after Jerad Eickhoff left early with an injury.
Now with a bullpen deprived of Jesen Therrien, Yacksel Rios, Edubray Ramos the Phils enter the second game ready to rebound.
A major change comes to the lineup and the defensive positioning chart as Freddy Galvis (for some idiotic reason) moves to center field this afternoon.
