Aaron Nola gave Philadelphia a strong foundation, limiting Atlanta to a lone run through his outing while striking out five. Kyle Schwarber and Derek Hill supplied Philadelphia's home runs, but the lead did not hold.

Philadelphia opened the scoring when Luis Arraez's sacrifice fly brought Kyle Schwarber home, followed by Alec Bohm's double that scored Trea Turner. Derek Hill and Kyle Schwarber homered in the seventh to extend the Phillies' lead.

Atlanta answered through Ronald Acuña. His sacrifice fly brought Mike Yastrzemski home, and his three-run homer in the eighth scored Yastrzemski and Drake Baldwin to tie the game. After the Phillies turned to Jhoan Duran, Austin Riley's sharp triple brought Ozzie Albies across for the go-ahead run. Dylan Lee earned the win, and Raisel Iglesias closed the ninth.

The Braves' late rally extended their winning streak, while the Phillies were left with a reminder of how quickly a strong pitching performance can be undone by a late swing.
