Phillies vs Braves: Turner hit two homers in Phillies' 13-0 rout of Braves

Trae Turner smashed two homers while Philadelphia struck five in total, as they ended their scoring drought with a comprehensive 13-0 victory against the Atlanta Braves on Friday evening in Atlanta.

Kyle Schwarber, Nick Castellanos and Otto Kemp each contributed home runs for Philadelphia, who had struggled offensively in their previous series, managing just one run while being defeated in all three matches against the Houston Astros.

Inclement weather caused a delay of 2 hours, 19 minutes before the start. Although both starting pitchers, Mick Abel for Philadelphia and Bryce Elder for Atlanta, had completed their warm-ups, the Phillies opted to begin with Tanner Banks after the delay, while Atlanta maintained Elder as their starter.



Elder (2-5) endured a difficult outing, conceding 10 runs (nine earned) from eight hits and four walks in just over two innings, including three home runs.

Banks pitched two innings before Taijuan Walker (3-5) took over for another two frames. Alan Rangel completed the final five innings, allowing six hits and one walk.

Kemp registered his first career homer while Schwarber hit his 25th of the season, both coming in the third inning.

Turner delivered an impressive performance, going 4 for 6 with four runs scored. Schwarber contributed with a 1 for 3 record, including two walks and three runs, while JT Realmuto went 3 for 4 with a walk.


Braves' first baseman Matt Olson maintained his impressive form, extending MLB's longest active on-base streak to 28 games with a single in the fifth
.
The 13-run defeat represented the highest number of runs conceded by the Braves in a single game this season.
