ATLANTA — Sean Murphy homered and drove in four runs in his return from a rib injury, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-5 on Tuesday night.
Austin Riley hit two doubles for Atlanta, including a tiebreaking shot to the wall in right-center in the seventh inning. Jarred Kelenic walked three times and scored two runs.
Riley’s second double of the night drove in Marcell Ozuna, who walked and moved to second on a wild pitch by Orion Kerkering (1-1).
Kyle Schwarber homered, a 460-foot shot that was the longest ever hit by a left-handed hitter against Sale, and drove in three runs for Philadelphia.
Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler and Braves left-hander Chris Sale each gave up five runs in a matchup of the top two finishers in last season’s NL Cy Young Award voting.
