By Karl Rasmussen
The Atlanta Braves came to play Friday night, and Jake Arrieta and the Phillies got roughed up because of it. Brian McCann reached the double digit threshold for homers this year with an absolute bullet to right field off Arrieta in the fifth inning.

Talk about getting all of a pitch. That ball traveled 426-feet and into the second deck at Citizens Bank Park.
The damage didn't stop there, as Atlanta added three more runs in the inning, thanks to a two-run single from Ronald Acuña and an RBI double from Ozzie Albies.
