Braves Overcome Phillies with Late Rally
The Atlanta Braves defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 on Sunday, thanks to a late-game rally that included a three-run homer from Ronald Acuna Jr. in the eighth inning and a go-ahead triple from Austin Riley in the ninth.
Atlanta was down 4-1 in the eighth when Acuna hit his homer after Mike Yastrzemski reached third base on a double. The Braves then took the lead in the ninth after Ozzie Albies doubled and Riley tripled to deep center.
Philadelphia's Aaron Nola had a strong performance, allowing only one run over seven innings, while Atlanta's Tyler Mahle gave up two unearned runs in six innings. The Braves now lead the NL East by five games with 19 games remaining in the season.
