Phillies Net 4-1 Win Over Firebirds
The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Firebirds, 4-1, at SunTrust Park. Starting pitcher Austin Brice was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Brice got the win, improving to 13-4. He allowed 5 hits and walked 1 over 6.2 innings. Brice allowed 1 run. Ken Giles earned his 38th save in 48 chances.

Philadelphia used a well-timed hit by Francisco Lindor to capture the win. The shortstop socked a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Phillies ahead, 2-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Lindor. "And not try to do too much."

The National League East Division-leading Phillies have a record of 94-64.
