ATLANTA (AP) — Brandon Phillips thought it was “epic” to get the Braves’ game-winning hit for the second straight day.
Having his dad in the stands on Father’s Day added to the thrill.
Phillips punched a ninth-inning single through a stacked infield to drive in Johan Camargo from third base and give Atlanta a 5-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday.
Phillips also delivered the decisive run-scoring single in the 10th that gave Atlanta an 8-7 victory over Miami on Saturday.
“Yesterday was crazy but today was one of those epic things,” Phillips said.
