PHILADELPHIA — Freddie Freeman mishandled Ben Revere’s ground ball to first base, allowing Freddy Galvis to score in the ninth inning and give the Philadelphia Phillies a 1-0 win over the Atlanta Braves on Friday night.

Galvis led off with a single to center field against Jim Johnson (1-2), went to second on Cesar Hernandez’s sacrifice bunt and took third on a passed ball.

Revere hit a chopper toward first base and Galvis broke for home. Freeman had a play at the plate but bobbled the ball. It was one of four errors for the Braves, who have lost six straight games and eight of 11.

Ken Giles (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win.

Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Harang struck out six and walked one while allowing just two hits in eight shutout innings.
