PHILADELPHIA (AP) \u2014 Drake Baldwin broke a ninth-inning tie with a two-run homer and the Atlanta Braves avoided a four-game sweep with a 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Braves rookie Hurston Waldrep pitched 5 2\/3 strong innings. Jake Fraley came off the bench in the seventh and went 2 for 2. Michael Harris II also had two hits for Atlanta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Brandon Marsh homered for the Phillies, who lead the NL East by six games over the New York Mets heading into September.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Matt Olson tied it at 1 with an RBI groundout for the Braves in the eighth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Fraley started the ninth with an infield single off Jos\u00e9 Alvarado (4-2) and went to second on a sacrifice bunt. Vidal Bruj\u00e1n struck out, but Baldwin drove Alvarado\u2019s first pitch, a 98 mph sinker, over the wall in left field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Baldwin walked as a pinch hitter in the eighth and remained in the game at catcher.<\/p>\n

\n

Tyler Kinley (4-3) tossed a perfect eighth and Raisel Iglesias struck out two in a 1-2-3 ninth for his 23rd save in 28 chances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Waldrep continued to impress, giving up one run on four hits with nine strikeouts and four walks. After starting two games in 2024, the 23-year-old right-hander, the No. 24 overall draft pick in 2023, was called up to the Braves on Aug. 2 and has a 1.01 ERA in six outings, including five starts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Phillies starter Jes\u00fas Luzardo pitched 6 2\/3 scoreless innings, giving up two hits while striking out seven and walking one.<\/p>\n
