Schwellenbach strikes out 12 and Murphy hits grand slam to lift Braves over Phillies

ATLANTA (AP) — Spencer Schwellenbach struck out a career-high 12 and Sean Murphy hit a grand slam as the Atlanta Braves bounced back from an embarrassing loss to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-1 on Saturday night.

Schwellenbach (7-4) gave up one run, three hits and one walk in seven innings. He threw 64 of 90 pitches for strikes.

Murphy was 2 for 4 with a double. The seventh-inning slam was his 10th home run this season.

Austin Riley went 2 for 4 with an RBI and Nick Allen had a run-scoring single for the Braves, who were shut out in their previous two games — including a 13-0 defeat in the series opener Friday night.
