Braves 5 Phillies 3
It Was Over When....
The Braves Edgar Renteria crushed a two-run homer off reliever Ryan Madson in the top of the 10th inning. Yeah the Phils could have come back to win in the bottom half of the inning, it's only the first game of the season, so they had no real incentive to do so.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Edgar Renteria, who homered twice on the day with a game tying solo homer with two out in the top of the 8th inning, and what turned out to be a game winning 2 run homer in the top of the 10th inning.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
0, as in 0 runs allowed by the Braves bullpen on the day, to 2 allowed by the Phils bullpen on the day. It was feared coming into this season that the bullpen would be a problem for the Phils, that fear didn't exactly come to fruition today, but it is definitely something to look out for throughout the remainder of the season.
The Bottom Line Is....
Yeah so the Phils lost their season/home opener, it's not the end of the world, there are still 161 games left to play this season, so don't start worrying just yet.
