PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Ender Inciarte kept swinging and the hits kept dropping.
Inciarte had three more hits, David Freitas lined a go-ahead RBI double for his first career hit and the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-2 to complete a doubleheader sweep on Wednesday.
Inciarte was 3 for 5 with one RBI after going 5 for 5 with four RBIs to lead the Braves to a 9-1 victory in the opener.
“I was really aggressive,” Inciarte said. “I was swinging at good pitches and why take a fastball in the middle right there if I was feeling so good, so I ended up getting the base hit and building good momentum for the team.”
Julio Teheran (9-11) allowed one run and five hits, striking out eight in 6 1/3 innings.
