PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Brandon McCarthy keeps finding ways to beat the Phillies.
McCarthy tossed 5 2/3 sharp innings, Ozzie Albies hit his 14th homer and the Atlanta Braves beat Philadelphia 3-1 on Tuesday night.
McCarthy (5-2) allowed one run and four hits with five strikeouts. He is 4-0 with a 2.08 ERA against Philadelphia this season and 1-2 with a 6.60 ERA against the rest of the league.
“I warmed up and thought this could be a mess but the game started and I felt normal,” McCarthy said. “There’s no surprises facing a team four times.
