Braves

The Braves defeated the Nationals, 10-2, yesterday, and including a sweep of Washington over the weekend, have won four of their last five games overall. Atlanta had 16 extra-base hits vs. the Nats -- tied for its most in any three-game series since banging out 17 against the Brewers, May 10-12, 2010.

Philadelphia beat Miami, 4-3, on Sunday, and with a sweep of the Marlins over the weekend, is now 3-3 at Citizens Bank Park in 2014. The Phillies have committed 12 errors in 2014 -- tied for second most in the National League.

This is the first meeting of the season between the Braves and Phillies. Atlanta went 11-8 vs. Philadelphia in 2013, and is 23-14 overall the last two seasons against the Phillies.

Ervin Santana pitched eight innings of shut-out ball in his first start for the Braves last Wednesday, taking home a win over the Mets for his efforts. Santana went 7.0 innings and allowed just one run (unearned) in his only career outing vs. the Phillies -- a win on June 20, 2008.

Roberto Hernandez is 1-0 with a 4.35 ERA in his first two starts as a National Leaguer, but has failed to go more than 5.1 innings in either outing. Hernandez won his only career start vs. the Braves (7.0 IP, 2 ER) on June 17, 2007.

Chase Utley went 3-for-4 with a home run in yesterday's victory, and is now batting .500 in 2014 overall -- best of any Phillie through 12 team games in any season since 1914. Utley has recorded four multi-hit games in a row -- his longest such streak since a five-gamer April 7-12, 2009.
