ATLANTA (AP) Aaron Nola allowed a run over eight innings, Odubel Herrera doubled in the go-ahead run in the sixth and the Philadelphia Phillies survived a ninth-inning scare to beat the Atlanta Braves 3-1 on Tuesday night.
Nola (3-3) earned his first win since April 20 and became the Phillies’ first starter to pitch past the seventh inning this season.
Nola spent almost a month on the disabled list with a lower back strain before losing his three decisions in May.
Howie Kendrick had three hits, including a homer in the fourth.
Hector Neris gave up one-out singles to Matt Kemp and Matt Adams in the ninth.
