Michael Harris II delivered a pinch-hit double to drive in two runs and help the Atlanta Braves rally for a 5-3 win on Friday and hand the visiting Philadelphia Phillies their 10th straight loss.
The losing streak is the longest for Philadelphia since it dropped 11 in a row in 1999. The Braves have won all four games against the Phillies and have won nine of their last 10 games.
Harris was a late scratch from the starting lineup due to a strained left quad but came off the bench to deliver the key hit in the sixth inning. Facing rookie Andrew Painter, Harris batted for Eli White and slapped a fastball that just got over the glove of center fielder Brandon Marsh, allowing Dominic Smith and Mauricio Dubon to score.
Pinch-runner Jorge Mateo entered for Harris, stole third base and scored on Painter's wild pitch.
The winning pitcher was Grant Holmes (2-1). He threw six innings and allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks, fanning four. A key strikeout came against slugger Kyle Schwarber with the bases loaded to end the fourth.
Aaron Bummer, Joel Payamps and Robert Suarez each finished the game with one inning of scoreless relief. Suarez allowed runners to reach second and third in the ninth, but retired Marsh on a comebacker to end the game. Suarez earned his third save.
Painter (1-2) pitched 5 2/3 innings and allowed five runs on nine hits and two walks with one strikeout.
Trae Turner got the Phillies on the board with a two-run homer, his third, in the third inning, but the Braves tied the game in the bottom of the inning when Ronald Acuna crushed a two-run homer, his second.
Bryce Harper hit an opposite-field solo homer in the fifth inning, his sixth, to put the Phillies ahead 3-2. It was the 800th extra-base hit of his career and he became only the 27th player, and 10th left-handed hitter, to reach that milestone prior to his 34th birthday.
