ATLANTA (AP) — Brandon Marsh’s tie-breaking, pinch-hit sacrifice fly in the eighth inning lifted the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-2 win over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night.
The win pushed the Phillies’ lead in the National League East to seven games over the Braves, with five games remaining between the two teams in the regular season.
“Every win is an important win,” said Phillies starter Aaron Nola. “No lead (in the division) is a big enough lead right now, especially with those guys over there. They always play us really good. It is always a challenge.
