ATLANTA (AP) — William Contreras singled home Ronald Acuña Jr. in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Atlanta Braves a 6-5 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night.

Bryce Harper put Philadelphia ahead 5-4 in the top of the ninth with a two-run homer off closer Kenley Jansen (3-0). Harper finished with four RBIs.

But the Braves rallied back, taking advantage of a costly error by center fielder Roman Quinn.

Dansby Swanson doubled off Nick Nelson (1-1) to begin the ninth and advanced on a wild pitch.
