PHILADELPHIA -- Freddie Freeman mishandled Ben Revere's ground ball to first base, allowing Freddy Galvis to score in the ninth inning and give the Philadelphia Phillies a 1-0 win over the Atlanta Braves on Friday night.
Galvis led off with a single to center field against Jim Johnson (1-2), went to second on Cesar Hernandez's sacrifice bunt and took third on a passed ball.
Revere hit a chopper toward first base and Galvis broke for home. Freeman had a play at the plate but bobbled the ball. It was one of four errors for the Braves, who have lost six straight games and eight of 11.
Ken Giles (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win.
Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Harang struck out six and walked one while allowing just two hits in eight shutout innings.
The Braves got their only hits off Harang in the fifth inning when A.J. Pierzynski stayed hot with a one-out double followed by Chris Johnson's line-drive single. But that was all Atlanta could manage off Harang, who retired his final 10 batters.
But Philadelphia's struggling offense couldn't get Harang the lead despite several chances. The Phillies entered the game last in the major leagues in both runs (41) and average (.213) and showed why Friday.
Revere grounded out with a man on second in the fifth, Carlos Ruiz popped out to left with the bases loaded in the sixth and Odubel Herrera grounded out with a man on second in the seventh.
Their best chance to score before the ninth came in the eighth with runners on third and first with one out. But Cody Asche, who entered batting a team-best .333, popped out to first after a surprising bunt attempt and Ruiz struck out.
Atlanta starter Alex Wood didn't allow a run in 5 2/3 innings, giving up five hits while striking out one and walking two. Cody Martin and Luis Avilan combined for two scoreless innings of relief.
The Phillies played a flawless game in the field after committing five combined errors while getting outscored 15-2 in losses to Miami on Wednesday and Thursday.
The Braves were leading the majors in fielding percentage (.993) and entered with four errors on the season.
Braves right-hander Shelby Miller (2-0, 1.69 ERA) aims to continue his strong season start in the second game of the series at 7:05 tonight. Phillies righty David Buchanan (0-3, 9.22 ERA) will look to get back into the form he displayed in spring training.
