Player to Watch: Jason Heyward -The rookie sensation is coming off of a torrid April. He’s cooled down a bit but is still batting .286 with eight homers. He strikes out a lot but that’s typical of a hot rookie who is anxious and swinging at everything. He may go down on strikes a lot but he will do some damage when he makes contact.
Series Overview: Philadelphia leads the season series 2-1… The Braves are reeling and the Phillies should be able to take advantage of that… Derek Lowe got tattooed his last start against the Phillies… The Phillies are on a three-game winning streak and have won five of their last seven games… Phillies can easily sweep this series as they have all the pitching match-ups and the offense has seemed to gotten a bit more consistent.
