Alec Bohm hits tie-breaking, 2-run double in 7-run 8th as Phillies beat Braves
9-4 and avoid sweep

ATLANTA (AP) --- Alec Bohm hit a tie-breaking, two-run double in a seven-run
eighth inning and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 9-4 on
Sunday to avoid being swept in the key NL East series.
J.T. Realmuto drove in three runs on three hits, including a two-run homer.
Bohm's double to center field off Dylan Lee (6-1) drove in Trea Turner and
Bryce Harper, who reached on his second double of the game. Bryson Stott and
Realmuto had run-scoring singles and Kyle Schwarber's single off Victor Mederos
drove in two more runs in the big inning.
Matt Olson hit a two-run homer off Tanner Banks, who was activated off the
60-day injured list before the game, in the ninth.
Despite avoiding the sweep, the Phillies lost ground to the first-place Braves
in the series. After trailing by four games at the start of the series, the
Phillies left Atlanta five games out of first place. The Braves won the opener
6-5 in 11 innings on Friday night before rolling to a 12-2 win on Saturday
night.
Phillies right-hander Andrew Painter gave up one run six hits and four walks.
He pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth. After walking Austin Riley
and Ha-Seong Kim and giving up a single to Michael Harris II, Painter coaxed a
popup from Ronald Acua Jr. and ended the inning on Olson's grounder to first
base.
Harris, who had three hits, led off the seventh with a single off left-hander
Jos Alvarado (4-3) and moved to second on a wild pitch before scoring on
Olson's single to left field for a 2-2 tie.
