Sean Murphy homers twice as Braves sweep Tigers

June 19 - Sean Murphy hit two home runs and Reynaldo Lopez pitched five scoreless innings to spark the Atlanta Braves to a 7-0 win over the visiting Detroit Tigers on Wednesday and a sweep of their three-game series.

The Braves have won three straight and six of their last seven. The Tigers have lost four in a row. It was the first time Atlanta has swept a three-game series against Detroit.

Murphy went 4-for-4 with four RBI, three runs scored and produced the fourth multi-homer game of his career.

He hit a two-run homer over the brick wall in right field in the third inning, his first career hit against Tigers starter Tarik Skubal.
