The Braves beat the Phillies, 5-2, last night, sweeping the three-game series at Turner Field, and winning their season-high fifth straight home game overall. Atlanta is 10-1 in its last 11 contests.

Matt Wisler had his second straight good outing a week ago vs. the Marlins, going 6.0 innings and allowing two runs (both earned) in a no-decision. Wisler, who is 3-1 with a 3.60 ERA in five starts since being recalled from the minors on August 25, will be facing the Tigers for the first time in his career tonight.

Freddie Freeman went 0-for-4 last night, snapping his 30-game hit streak (longest in MLB this year), and 46-game on-base streak (tied for longest in MLB this year) in the process. Freeman is 2-for-11 (.182 BA) in three career games vs. the Tigers.
