ATLANTA -- Given a chance to extend their recent success against a division leader, the Braves got five solid innings from Mike Foltynewicz to claim a 5-4 win Friday night over the National League Central-leading Brewers at SunTrust Park.
The Braves, who have won six of their past seven and eight of 11, won on the strength of two extra-base hits from Brandon Phillips (including a homer), Dansby Swanson's decisive two-out RBI single in the seventh and a couple of game-saving gems in the final two innings.
With one out in the top of the eighth, Milwaukee shortstop Orlando Arcia slugged a two-run double off Atlanta reliever Jose Ramirez, bringing the Brewers within one run, before the top of the eighth inning ended with third baseman Johan Camargo turning a nifty double play.
