Phillies Get 7-4 Win Versus Atlanta
Despite a fine performance by right fielder Orlando Merced, the Atlanta Braves lost to the Philadelphia Phillies, 7-4. Merced went 4-4 with a double, 3 singles, and a walk. The winner was Runelvys Hernandez, who threw 116 pitches over 8.1 innings. The right-hander was charged with 4 runs on 8 hits. Ricardo Rincon, credited with the save, is now 5 for 9 in save opportunities.

The Phillies benefited from a costly error in the bottom of the sixth. With Aaron Boone at bat and Philadelphia trailing 3-2, the Atlanta miscue allowed Philadelphia to plate 2 and take the lead, 4-3.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Boone told the Philadelphia Bulletin.

With the win, Philadelphia pushed its record to 87-75.
