Brandon Marsh’s RBI in the eighth inning lifted the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-2 comeback victory over the Atlanta Braves

Brandon Marsh’s go-ahead pinch-hit sacrifice fly in the eighth inning helped the Philadelphia Phillies secure a 3-2 win over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night.

This victory extended the Phillies’ lead in the National League East to seven games over the Braves, with five more games left between the two teams in the regular season.

“Every win is an important win,” said Phillies starter Aaron Nola. “No lead (in the division) is a big enough lead right now, especially with those guys over there. They always play us really good. It is always a challenge.”

Weston Wilson went 2 for 3 and scored the winning run in the eighth after starting with a double. Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner each drove in a run for the Phillies.

Nola pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks, while striking out five.

“I tried to keep it at two as best I could and give the guys a chance to score some runs,” Nola said. “It was a good win.”

Matt Strahm (5-2) got the win by pitching a scoreless seventh inning.
