Recap: Late homers doom Braves as Phillies sweep

A two-run home run off the bat of Cesar Hernandez gave the Philadelphia Phillies the lead in the eighth inning, as they completed a three-game sweep of the Atlanta Braves with a 5-2 win on Sunday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park.

Both starting pitchers, Zach Eflin and Mike Foltynewicz, were outstanding, but back-to-back-to-back homers by Hernandez, Aaron Altherr and Odubel Herrera in the eighth off Braves relievers Arodys Vizcaino and Ian Krol broke a 1-1 tie and made it 5-1 to lift Philly to the sweep.
