Phillies can’t hold lead in loss to Braves

By CHARLES ODUM

ATLANTA (AP) — Sean Murphy homered and drove in four runs in his return from a rib injury, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-5 on Tuesday night.

Austin Riley hit two doubles for Atlanta, including a tiebreaking shot to the wall in right-center in the seventh inning. Jarred Kelenic walked three times and scored two runs.

Riley’s second double of the night drove in Marcell Ozuna, who walked and moved to second on a wild pitch by Orion Kerkering (1-1).

The Braves, down 5-3 in the fifth, tied it in the sixth and took the lead for good on Riley’s double in the seventh.
