Tommy Joseph touched home plate, spiked his helmet and sprinted toward first base. The celebration was on.
The Phillies rallied in the 11th inning to defeat Atlanta on Ty Kelly’s single with the bases loaded. By the time Joseph got to Kelly, he was already being mobbed by his teammates. The Phillies have won seven of their last 10 as they seem to be finding their way after a miserable first half.
Joseph led off the inning with a single to shallow center. He moved to second on a single from Odubel Herrera, who had tied the game with a homer in the ninth.
