Kelly's single in 11th lifts Phillies past Braves

PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies manager Pete Mackanin has a new nickname for Ty Kelly. Just call him "Ty-breaker" Kelly.

Kelly singled home the winning run with two outs in the 11th inning to lift Philadelphia to a 4-3 comeback victory over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday night.

"That was fun," Mackanin said. "A tiebreaker by Ty Kelly. I had to use that."

Kelly doesn't mind the moniker.

"I like it as long as I can keep on doing it," he said.

Odubel Herrera hit a tying home run with one out in the ninth off Braves closer Jim Johnson, who blew his eighth save.
