PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The Atlanta Braves ended their 12-game losing streak, beating the Philadelphia Phillies 7-2 Monday night behind the hitting of Hector Olivera and the pitching of Williams Perez.

The smallest crowd in the 12-year history of Citizens Bank Park - 15,125 - saw the Braves stop their worst skid since 1988.

Atlanta also had lost 13 in a row on the road.

Olivera homered, doubled and drove in four runs. Freddie Freeman homered and Jace Peterson and Andrelton Simmons each got three hits for the Braves.
