Braves rally in 9th to beat Phillies for 8th straight win

Brian McCann's two-run single with two outs in the ninth inning gave him 1,000 RBI for his career and completed a three-run rally to lift the Atlanta Braves to a 9-8 win over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies on Friday.

The Braves trailed 8-6 entering the ninth inning against Philadelphia closer Hector Neris (1-3). He allowed a leadoff single to Dansby Swanson and walked Nick Markakis with two outs. Rookie Austin Riley knocked in the first run with a double to left field.

McCann worked the count to 2-2 and went down to get a splitter from Neris.
