Tyler Mahle provided the foundation for Atlanta, delivering a strong start while limiting Philadelphia's offense and earning the win. The Braves' offense then supplied ample support behind him.
Ronald Acuña Jr. homered to tie the game in the fourth. Mauricio Dubón's single brought Ozzie Albies and Michael Harris II home, giving Atlanta the lead. Sean Murphy reached on a fielding error that allowed Dubón to score, and Drake Baldwin's double brought home Murphy and Ha-Seong Kim. Acuña later singled to score Baldwin, completing the inning's surge.
Harper had opened the scoring for Philadelphia with a homer, and Justin Crawford added another homer later, but the Phillies could not sustain their offense. Brooks Raley took the loss after Atlanta expanded its advantage.
Atlanta extended its winning streak, while Philadelphia's losing streak continued. The game belonged to the Braves' sudden fourth-inning burst, which transformed an even contest into a one-sided finish.
