Perhaps it was the lack of time to put Monday's blown 5-0 lead behind them. Perhaps, it was both and more. But whatever it was, the Phillies' bats went totally silent outside of a 3 for 4 game by All Star 2nd baseman Chase Utley and they continued shuttling and shuffling relief pitchers in search of a consistent, effective tandem for the stretch drive as they lost their 3rd straight, this one to the Braves by a 5-1 score in their series opener.

Eaton even chipped in with a lead-off solo homer in the 4th. The Phils were looking good, too good! Once again, the highest ERA pitching staff in the NL couldn't make a lead stand up. Eaton couldn't cope with the prosperity of a big lead as the Marlins' homer barrage began as they pounded him for three 4th inning runs on two homers, single runs in the 5th, on a fielding error, and in the 6th on a solo homer to tie the game. Reliever Kane Davis was touched for back-to-back homers in the 7th inning as the Marlins bullpen held the Phils scoreless on two hits and 4 walks until the 9th inning to win by a 7-6 score and to take the series in two of three games.

Is there ever a concern that the Braves won't have enough quality arms? Check out the Spring stats. If all of the Orioles pitchers dissapoint once again and the Braves pitchers exceed expectations, I think we're going to see some of the luster come off of the great Leo Mazzone.
