Braves outlast Phillies 8-7 in 11 innings

The Atlanta Braves outlasted the Philadelphia Phillies 8-7 in 11 innings that also included a two hour rain delay.

The Braves didn’t waste anytime getting to Phillies starter Kyle Gibson. Michael Harris got things started with a one-out walk and then moved up to second with his 19th stolen base of the season. Gibson struck out Austin Riley for the second out before Travis d’Arnaud lifted a fly ball to the wall in right center. Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh pulled up on the play apparently losing the ball in the sun. The play went as a double for d’Arnaud as Harris raced home with Atlanta’s first run.
