PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Matt Olson tied the Braves’ season home run record with 51 and Atlanta moved to the cusp of the NL East title, beating the Philadelphia Phillies 7-6 in 10 innings Tuesday night.
Marcell Ozuna hit a three-run shot, Ronald Acuña Jr. had a two-run homer for the Braves. After blowing a 6-1 lead, they won on Eddie Rosario’s RBI single off Craig Kimbrel (7-6) that scored the automatic runner.
The Braves can wrap up their sixth straight division crown with a win Wednesday over the Phillies.
Olson is trying to pass Andruw Jones, who hit 51 in 2005.
