PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- Michael Harris II homered and had three hits as the
streaking Atlanta Braves defeated the slumping Philadelphia Phillies 4-2 on
Sunday night to complete a three-game sweep of their NL East rivals.
Ozzie Albies hit an RBI double and Austin Riley also drove in a run for the
Braves, who have won five in a row and nine of 11. It was Atlanta's first
series sweep of at least three games at Philadelphia in 10 years.
Kyle Schwarber went deep for the Phillies, who have lost five straight and 10
of 13. They were outscored 56-33 on a 2-7 homestand against the Diamondbacks,
Cubs and Braves, leaving Philadelphia 6 1/2 games behind first-place Atlanta in
the division standings.
Raisel Iglesias escaped trouble in the ninth inning for his fifth save.
Philadelphia put runners on first and second with one out, but Trea Turner
struck out and Schwarber lined out to right field on an excellent running catch
by Ronald Acua Jr.
Tyler Kinley (3-0) pitched a scoreless sixth for the win.
