Swept

So much for dominating at Turner Field. The Philadelphia Phillies rolled into Atlanta and, without even using their best pitcher, swept three games from the Braves.

What a frustrating series. The Braves were one out and a routine catch away from winning on Friday night, wasted a solid outing from Jo-Jo Reyes on Saturday and then left 23 men on base in Sunday's 6-3 loss.

Jeff Francoeur left six men on base himself as his clutch-hitting continues to be a maddening storyline of the season. With Chipper Jones and Brian McCann on the bench today, Frenchy needed to come through in the clutch. He did not. Francoeur batted 6th, behind Kelly Johnson for goodness sake, and once again demonstrated why Bobby Cox is losing faith in his big right-fielder. The guy has to deliver some RBIs.

The Braves have Monday off before a long road trip that starts in Chicago against the top-of-the-league Cubs.
