Phillies 12 Braves 5

The Braves kept this one close for a while, until one of their patented late-inning bullpen meltdowns. Credit should go to the top of the lineup for keeping them in the game while Horacio struggled from the get-go. The Phils had no trouble figuring him out, to the tune of 11 baserunners in 3 2/3 innings. Horacio has had some success over the last couple of seasons, but his lack of a strikeout pitch may be catching up with him.

Good to see Giles get his doubles stroke down -- he's now the major league leader, with 19. FWIW, Estrada is tied for 7th with 15 and Chipper is tied for 12th with 14. The Braves trail only the Reds in team doubles. There, a silver lining.

Hudson versus Brett Myers today -- should be a pitchers' duel.
