Daily News | Phillies’ bats come alive against Braves to close out June on a high note
The Phillies offense looked lifeless on Wednesday night. They drove in only one run and four hits. On Thursday, they woke up, put on their powder blues, and decided to score a season-high 14 runs in a 14-4 win over the Atlanta Braves., whose solo shot in the bottom of the fourth inning also happened to be his first big league hit. Nick Castellanos hit a much-needed three-run home run in the bottom of the second, his first of the month.
After recording one hit off Braves starter Ian Anderson in the first inning, the Phillies put up seven runs in the second inning, four runs in the third, and one run in the fourth inning. Entering the top of the fifth inning, they had a 12-1 lead, and everyone in their lineup had at least one hit and one run scored.Nearly everyone needed an offensive boost after a quiet first two games against the Braves, but no one needed it more than Castellanos.
