Braves Blank Phillies as Austin Riley Blasts Two Homers
Riley hit two homers and Perez allowed four hits as Atlanta won its third straight and improved to 13-7, officials said.
- On Friday, the Atlanta Braves routed the Philadelphia Phillies 9-0 at Citizens Bank Park, with Austin Riley hitting two home runs to power NL East-leading Atlanta to 13-7.
- Phillies starting pitcher Taijuan Walker allowed seven runs in four innings, departing with Philadelphia down 7-0 before the game reached the midpoint.
- Braves pitcher Martin Perez silenced the Phillies over six shutout innings, allowing just four hits while helping secure Atlanta's fourth shutout in 20 games.
- Now 8-11 on the season, the Phillies have dropped seven of nine games, prompting manager Rob Thomson to call the recent stretch 'frustrating.'
- Zack Wheeler is expected to return to the rotation next weekend, potentially stabilizing a Phillies pitching staff that has struggled to match their recent division-title form.
