After a tough opening night loss, the Phils were looking to rebound against the Braves tonight in the 2nd game of their series at the Bank. Jamie Moyer got the start and was roughed up a bit allowing 4 runs on 8 hits in just 5 innings of work. The Phils meanwhile, continued to struggle at the plate mustering just 4 hits against Brave's starter Jair Jurrjens, and just 2 more the rest of the way after Jurrjens left in the 5th inning. So it was another less than satisfactory night for the Phils. Right off the bat in the top of the first Kelly Johnson slammed a solo homer and Chipper Jones doubled and scored on an error by Chase Utley for a 2-0 lead. In the top of the 4th, Jeff Franceour singled and scored off a pair of infield singles for a 3-0 lead. In the top of the 5th Chipper continued his season opening hot streak with a solo shot to put Atlanta up 4-0. From there the Phils had some opportunities down the stretch to get back in it, but were not able to take advantage, and finally lost 4-0. So the Phils drop to 0-2 overall to start the season. Yeah it is only 2 games, but the Phils aren't going to win much, if they keep playing like this.

If I recall correctly the Phils usually do suck in April, and if I'm wrong thats not a good sign.
