Rookie Schwellenbach shines as Braves ride homers from Ozuna, Albies to 5-1 win over Phillies

ATLANTA (AP) — Rookie Spencer Schwellenbach gave up only one run in six innings, Marcell Ozuna and Ozzie Albies hit two-run homers and the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-1 on Saturday night.

Schwellenbach (2-4) outpitched Ranger Suárez (10-3) by allowing seven hits with no walks. The 24-year-old right-hander recorded six strikeouts after allowing a combined eight runs in back-to-back losses.

Schwellenbach said beating the MLB-best and NL East-leading Phillies was a highlight.

“Especially turning it around from last week, coming in and making some adjustments and hammering the strike zone,” Schwellenbach said.
