ATLANTA -- The Phillies came back to tie the Braves or take a lead three different times Thursday night but it wasn't enough.
Gregory Soto and Aaron Nola were unable to hold down a dynamic Atlanta offense in an 8-5 loss.
With the game tied in the bottom of the eighth inning, manager Rob Thomson went to the lefty Soto with left-handed-hitting Eddie Rosario and switch-hitter Ozzie Albies due up. Soto struck out Rosario but proceeded to put the next five Braves on base on a single, double, walk, two-run single and another single.
