The Phillies took their walks, hit with two outs and Taijuan Walker delivered a quality start under difficult circumstances in a much-needed 6-4 win over the Braves.
It was early, but it was a big moment and perhaps a game-changing play.
Unlike his starts against Giants, Dodgers, Mariners and Yankees, Walker avoided letting things snowball with runners aboard. The Braves had at least one baserunner in every inning against him and had multiple runners on with fewer than two outs in the second, fourth and seventh innings, yet managed just one run total. Their other two runs off him came around on a Michael Harris II homer in the fifth.
