PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Adam Morgan couldn’t control his fastball, and the Atlanta Braves took advantage.
Jace Peterson had three hits, including a three-run home run, and Julio Teheran pitched seven strong innings to lead Atlanta to a 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.
Chris Johnson, Jonny Gomes and Ryan Lavarnway all had an RBI for the Braves, who snapped a season-worst 6-game losing streak while winning for just the second time in the last 15 road games to avoid a four-game series sweep.
The Braves haven’t been swept in a four-game series in Philadelphia since Sept.
