ATLANTA — Marcell Ozuna hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 11th inning, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-2 on Friday in a game that ended at 12:53 a.m. after a rain delay of 2 hours, 45 minutes between the sixth and seventh innings.
After the Phillies took a 2-1 lead in the top of the 11th, Austin Riley tied it in the bottom half by doubling home Ozzie Albies before Ozuna lifted his second home run of the season beyond left field in a nearly empty Truist Park.
Kyle Schwarber hit his sixth home run in 12 games in the third inning on a 98 mph fastball from Spencer Schwellenbach.
José Suarez (1-0) got the win despite walking three batters in the 11th. Joe Ross (1-1) took the loss.
With runners on first and third and two outs in the 10th inning, Nick Castellanos had a chance to give the Phillies a late lead. Instead, he struck out for the fifth time in his first game since moving into the cleanup role.
