Braves lose Game 1 to the Phillies, again

In this edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Braves Report podcast, beat reporter Justin Toscano and co-host Jay Black discuss how the Braves managed to drop another opening game of the NLDS to the Phillies. Justin will explain why he believes this Game 1 loss is worse than last year’s. Plus, our crew will dig into why Atlanta chose to shuffle its batting order for this series. You’ll also hear from Spencer Strider about his start and Austin Riely will explain how Atlanta will bounce back from its first shutout at home since 2021. We will also preview Game 2 as Max Fried looks to rebound from a blister on his pitching. And we have answers to plenty of Braves’ fans questions in our “Ask Justin” segment.
