Braves dropped the series to the Padres over the holiday weekend with cornucopia of errors that were costly for the Braves even though the starting pitching was strong again. Ronald Acuna Jr returned and made a difference immediately but the Braves start a 3-game series against the NL East leading Phillies tonight in Philly and need to start strong behind Spencer Strider 

Barrett Sallee talks with The Locker Room about the importance of the upcoming series and the wrongs and rights from over the weekend.

Spencer Strider (0-2, 5.79) takes the mound against Ranger Suarez (3-0, 3.70). Ford Leadoff Show gets underway at 5:30p with first pitch scheduled for 6:45p
