    Jerad Eickhoff's success against Braves continues in longest outing since May

    ATLANTA – Jerad Eickhoff admitted it was nice to be on the mound when the seventh inning started on Wednesday.

That…

    Odubel Herrera continues tear as Phillies notch 2-game sweep of Braves

    BOX SCORE ATLANTA – Two months ago, it may have seemed far-fetched to envision Phillies centerfielder Odubel Herrera as a potential batting champion. Now it’s not such an incredible idea — especially if he can keep playing the Braves.  Herrera had a pair of triples in his 2-for-4 night on Wednesday to help generate the little bit of offense needed…

    Phillies Notes: Awaiting Rhys Hoskins; Andrew Knapp's hand broken

Since being called up from Triple A Lehigh Valley on July 21, Nola has…
