Actually... since Neris is now in line for the win... if he gave up the lead I dont think it would be a blown save... But the 9th inning reliever could

Can never make it easy

[LoneStarPhan]

Remember, Perez is a .144 hitter who the Phillies fear greatly. Same for Park, the .188 hitter.

[Patchmk88]

I am not big on how Joe has managed this game. Seems to be trying to save arms which has resulted in using more arms than needed or overusing an arm.

Trying to lose

[BostonRoss]

Come out of your shell there, Hector!

[bkeich]

You don’t get many 1.2 inning, 3 walk outings that don’t give up runs

[bkox]

This is the most pitches Héctor Neris has thrown in a game since 2015.

Braves lose their suspended game.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Alvarado’s not available. Have to wonder if Kennedy is available based on # of pitches thrown his last two outings. Since Bradley hasn’t warmed up, I’m wondering if he’s tonight’s closer or also unavailable.

[bkox]

Ian Kennedy warming in the bullpen

[LoneStarPhan]

Hector very excited making the G1 play.

Not a good outing for Neris, but I guess I should not be too critical of a scoreless 8th inning. Hate seeing 0-2 counts ending in walks. Hate seeing a .144 hitter walked.

I think it is clear that the bullpen game upcoming has hurt the Phillies tonight. Joe didn't want to use several of the bullpen tonight. I am coming to really hate bullpen games.

[LoneStarPhan]

Braves lose their suspended game.

I believe it was a 7 inning game.
