ATLANTA (AP) — Trea Turner hit a pair of two-run home runs off Max Fried, Aaron Nola earned his 100th career victory and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 8-6 on Friday night.
The NL East-leading Phillies extended their lead over second-place Atlanta to 10 games by winning the opener of the weekend series.
The Phillies have three key hitters — Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto — on the injured list but still had 15 hits.
“It’s what makes a good team,” Nola said.
Added manager Rob Thomson: “It says a lot. Our front office has done a great job of creating that depth.”
