Tyler Flowers homers to lead Braves over Phillies, 3-1
Dallas Keuchel and the Braves bullpen were excellent as Atlanta toughed out a 3-1 win over the Phillies. Tyler Flowers provided all the offense Atlanta would need as he blasted a three-run homer in the fourth inning. Josh Donaldson ended the game with an excellent catch running full speed into the Braves dugout railing, snagging the high popup just as he extended his reach. The Braves decrease their magic number to 8.

Why Alex Anthopoulos should be MLB’s Executive of the Year

Demands to sign Craig Kimbrel and jokes about “financial flexibility” were rampant on social media and talk radio. (I too was critical of the team not addressing the bullpen.) But Anthopoulos remained patient and did not make any hasty decisions based on public backlash.
