Rhys Hoskins’ three-run homer was the difference on a rainy Saturday in Philadelphia, when the Braves lost 4-1 to the Phillies. It was the Phillies’ fifth consecutive win and pulled them within two games of the Braves in the division race.
Braves starter Josh Tomlin held the Phillies to one run over his first four innings. His offense couldn’t help him against Zach Eflin, who beat the Braves for the second time in a week.
Tomlin couldn’t make it out of the fifth. He issued a leadoff walk to Andrew Knapp, who was bunted over by Adam Haseley.
