The Atlanta Braves were unable to get the offense going, but the Philadelphia Phillies had no such problem. They belted five home runs en route to a 7-1 victory in the opener of a three-game set at Truist Park on Monday.

Grant McAuley and Jake Mastroianni of Locked On Braves discuss Kyle Wright's second start back, what the club is hoping to see from him over the final two weeks, Ronald Acuña Jr.'s return to action after a brief absence, the four-game slide since clinching the NL East, and what Atlanta will focus on in advance of the postseason. All of that and a preview of Spencer Strider's start in Game 2 of the series on Tuesday.
