Matt Olson collected two hits, including his historic 51st home run, and the Atlanta Braves defeated the host Philadelphia Phillies 7-6 in 10 innings on Tuesday.

In the fourth inning, Olson swatted a solo shot to left, tying the single-season franchise record set by Andruw Jones in 2005. He leadsthe majors in homers this year.

Atlanta's Marcell Ozuna hit a three-run homer and singled, Ronald Acuna Jr. socked a two-run homer and Eddie Rosario produced a go-ahead RBI single in the 10th inning. Rosario had three hits for the Braves, who would clinch the National League East title with a win over the Phillies on Wednesday.
