 Phillies are holding on to first place, even though they dropped two out of three games to the Braves in Atlanta over the weekend. Phil's got shut out yesterday by a score of 6-0. It wasn't nice to watch for a Phillies fan. Rookie Michael Mercado got the loss after giving up five runs on five hits in an inning and two-thirds. Whit Merrifield got two of the team's five hits.
