Phillies bring the offense early, hang on for important win over Braves originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Phillies needed a win badly Monday night after dropping three of four games and they got it, jumping on rusty Braves starter Kyle Wright and hanging on late to win, 7-5.
Five of the first six Phillies reached base in the bottom of the first inning against Wright in his first start since May 3, and just when it looked like the Phils might be limited to two runs, Edmundo Sosa delivered a two-out, two-run double to double the lead.
