SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. (Interstat) — The Atlanta Braves extended their dominance over the Philadelphia Phillies, rallying for three runs in the sixth inning to secure a 5-3 victory Friday night at Truist Park before a crowd of 39,627.

The win was the Braves’ fourth straight overall and their 10th in 11 games, improving their record to 19-8. The Phillies lost their eighth consecutive game, falling to 8-18. The game lasted 2 hours, 40 minutes.

Philadelphia grabbed an early lead in the third inning. Garrett Stubbs singled with one out and Trea Turner followed by launching a two-run homer to right field, his third of the season. The Phillies added a run in the fifth when Bryce Harper led off with a solo home run, his sixth, to make it 3-2.

But the Braves answered each time. After Turner’s homer, Atlanta tied the game in the bottom of the third. Eli White singled and Ronald Acuña Jr. smashed a two-run homer to left field, his second of the year.

The decisive blow came in the sixth. With Philadelphia leading 3-2, Braves first baseman Matt Olson singled off Phillies starter Andrew Painter. After a walk to Mauricio Dubón and a flyout, pinch-hitter Michael Harris II stepped to the plate. Harris doubled sharply to center field, driving in both Olson and Dubón to give Atlanta a 4-3 lead. Acuña then walked and later scored on a throwing error by shortstop Trea Turner, allowing the Braves to extend the lead to 5-3.

Painter took the loss, falling to 1-2. He allowed four earned runs on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings, striking out four and walking two. Braves starter Grant Holmes earned the win, improving to 2-1. Holmes worked six innings, surrendering three earned runs on seven hits while striking out four.

Robert Suarez picked up his third save of the season with a scoreless ninth, allowing one hit and striking out one.

Turner went 1-for-3 with the homer and two RBIs for Philadelphia. Acuña also finished 1-for-3 with a homer and two RBIs. Harris went 1-for-1 with the game-changing double.

Relievers on both sides performed well. Aaron Bummer tossed a scoreless seventh for Atlanta, allowing one hit. Joel Payamps followed with a perfect eighth, giving up one hit. For Philadelphia, Kyle Backhus threw a scoreless seventh, Chase Shugart recorded one out without allowing a run in the eighth, and Tim Mayza struck out one in a scoreless eighth.

The Phillies out-hit the Braves 10-10, but left eight runners on base compared to Atlanta’s seven. Philadelphia went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position while Atlanta was 2-for-7.

The game marked the fourth meeting between the two teams this season and the Braves’ fourth straight win over the Phillies. Atlanta swept a three-game series in Philadelphia from April 17-19, outscoring the Phillies 16-3. The Braves have now won seven of the last eight matchups dating to last season.

Philadelphia’s losing streak has dropped them into last place in the National League East. The Phillies have not won since April 13, when they beat the Chicago Cubs 13-7. Since then, they have lost seven in a row, including four to the Cubs and three to the Braves before Friday.

Atlanta, meanwhile, has won 10 of its last 11 contests. The Braves have scored four or more runs in eight of those victories.

Key offensive contributions came from both lineups. For Philadelphia, Harper’s homer was his third in the last five games. Adolis García had two hits, including a single in the seventh, and Bryson Stott added a single. Alec Bohm walked and singled. For Atlanta, Olson had two hits, Ozzie Albies had two singles, and Dubón added a single and a walk.

The Braves’ bullpen combined for three scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out one. Philadelphia’s relievers also allowed no runs over 2 2/3 innings, surrendering one hit and striking out two.

The game’s most critical inning was the sixth, when Atlanta erased a one-run deficit and took the lead for good. Harris’s double was the key hit, but the inning also featured a walk and a subsequent error that allowed an additional run.

Interstat’s game simulator projected a final score of 7-1 in favor of Atlanta, and Interstat’s ELO system gave the Braves a 55.00 percent probability to win. Atlanta entered as a pregame favorite with a spread of minus-1.5. The total of eight runs scored went over the over-under line of nine.

The two teams meet again Saturday at Truist Park for the second game of the series. Philadelphia will send left-hander Cristopher Sánchez to the mound, while Atlanta is expected to counter with right-hander Spencer Strider.
