Realmuto's grand slam helps Phillies top Braves, avoid sweep

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- J.T. Realmuto hit a grand slam, three other Phillies went deep and Philadelphia avoided a three-game sweep with a 9-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday.

Aaron Nola (9-2) cruised through six scoreless innings before faltering in the seventh when the Braves tagged Philadelphia's ace right-hander for four runs. He left after surrendering seven hits with eight strikeouts and three walks in 6 2/3 innings.

Bryce Harper, Rhys Hoskins and Adam Haseley also homered for Philadelphia, which pulled within 6 1/2 games of the NL-East leading Braves.
