PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Marcell Ozuna hit a two-run homer to cap a five-run 10th inning, and the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-1 Thursday for their eighth straight win.

Michael Harris II knocked in the other Atlanta run of the inning, scoring automatic runner Sam Hilliard on a single up the middle.
Four Braves pitchers didn’t give up an earned run in 10 innings, allowing just four hits and two walks while striking out 10. Philadelphia’s only run came on Alec Bohm’s sacrifice fly, scoring automatic runner J.T. Realmuto in the 10th.
Raisel Iglesias (3-2) earned the win. Yunior Marte (0-1) took the loss.
