ATLANTA -- Odubel Herrera's 12th homer sparked a three-run fifth inning and provided more than enough insurance to help the Phillies cruise to a 5-2 victory over the Braves on Tuesday at SunTrust Park.
Herrera extended his hitting streak to 11 games as the Phillies won their fifth consecutive game against the Braves. Herrera went 3-for-4 and paced an offensive attack that scored five times in two innings against Braves starter Julio Teheran.
Nick Williams drove in the Phillies' first run with a ringing RBI double, and starting pitcher Zach Eflin helped himself with an RBI single to shallow center to give the Phillies a 2-1 lead.
