PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Kyle Schwarber scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning on Alec Bohm\u00b4s sacrifice fly and the NL East-leading Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Atlanta Braves 2-1 on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Schwarber, who became the 21st player in major league history to hit four home runs in a game on Thursday, hit a one-out single in this one, went to third on Bryce Harper\u00b4s single off Dylan Lee (2-4) and scored on Bohm\u00b4s flyout to right field off Pierce Johnson.<\/p>\n

Jhoan Duran pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his eighth save in nine chances since joining Philadelphia at the trade deadline, and 24th in 26 tries overall this season.<\/p>\n

Orion Kerkering (7-4) tossed a scoreless eighth after Matt Strahm and David Robertson each didn\u00b4t allow a run in one inning. Phillies starter Ranger Su\u00e1rez tied his season high with 10 hits allowed, but surrendered just one run – thanks in part to three inning-ending double plays.<\/p>\n

A night after becoming the fourth Phillies player to go deep four times in a game, Schwarber grounded out, walked and popped out to shortstop before his eighth-inning hit. He leads the NL in homers (49) and RBIs (119) and received “M-V-P! M-V-P!” chants when introduced by PA announcer Dan Baker.<\/p>\n

Matt Olson had three hits for the Braves, who finished with 12 total. Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr., Ozzie Albies and Sean Murphy had doubles.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia had just six hits a night after scoring 19 runs on 20 hits, including seven homers and 10 extra-base hits, and 19 RBIs in a 19-4 win in the opener of the four-game series.<\/p>\n

The loss ruined a strong outing by Braves starter Bryce Elder, who allowed one run and three hits in seven innings.<\/p>\n

Schwarber hustled to third base on Harper\u00b4s one-out single in the eighth to set up Bohm’s go-ahead RBI.<\/p>\n

Harper extended his hitting streak to 12 consecutive games with a fourth-inning bunt single after the Braves shifted Harper to his pull side.<\/p>\n

LHP Cristopher S\u00e1nchez (11-5, 2.66) starts for the Phillies in the third contest of the four-game set on Saturday night. Atlanta hadn’t announced its starter.<\/p>\n
