Braves Deal Phillies 9-6 Defeat
Thanks in large part to center fielder Kevin Kiermaier, the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 9-6. Kiermaier was 4 for 6 with a double and 3 singles, while scoring 3 times. Atlanta now sits at 66-72, while Philadelphia falls to 65-71.

Atlanta used a clutch at-bat from Vinnie Pasquantino to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Braves ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Kiermaier, "one at-bat at a time."
