Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman reacts after getting hit by a pitch in the eighth inning Wednesday, April 18, 2018, against the Philadelphia Phillies at SunTrust Park in Atlanta.

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman exited Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies after being hit by a pitch on the same left hand that was injured last season.

After the pitch from Phillies pitcher Hoby Milner left Freeman in visible pain, the nine-year veteran left the game and did not return.

Freeman broke his left wrist last season after being hit by a pitch during a game and missed seven weeks of the season while recovering.

The Braves went on to win the game 7-3 and SunTrust Park series against the Phillies, marking the first time the Braves have won the first three home series of the season since 2000.
