which with a receiving line, one man out in the top of the eighth and the phils up 3.

the braves bull pen has been good over the last week or so but they've been overused. four in game two and now five here tonight as the right hander ryan weber is the new pitcher. in his sixth ball game.

9.2 e.r.a. maikel franco. and he's coming out with the bases loaded and one man down. >> i wonder if the braves will make any moves. cervenka looked like he was gassed tonight. he walked four in this game. first pitch to franco. one ball and no strikes. here's marksberry. just brought him up. he pitched in the first game of the series.

he takes the breaking ball and it is 1-1. de la cruz to your left. it looks like he will start tomorrow. that ball is ripped to third. off the glove of garcia. into left field. two runs will cross the plate. that ball was scorched by franco. and it is 8-3. phillies on top. a run charged to cervenka. that ball was really hit hard. but it was on the glove side for garcia. >> very hard. it comes up a little off the glove.

a lot of players play the paul's. hit them to the left or the right. you get one. there's reason howard. he takes a breaking ball. five according to the official scorer. so we get one rbi on that. we cannot assume the double play. howard hits it back. right into the shift. and it's booted by aybar. that will load up the bases. odubel barely gets back. he better not make eye contact.

so e-5 and then e-6 on that one, most likely. >> perfect placement. another one to the side. that one came up a little higher. you see him putting the brakes on. >> look at him put his hands on his hips almost immediately, an e-5 to allow two runs to score. e-6 to allow the inning to stay alive. and now altherr is hit by a pitch. this is unraveling for the braves. the run comes. in 9-3, phillies on top.

now cameron rupp will be hitting with the bases loaded. >> a painful rbi but well worth it. take a hundred of those. >> breaking ball. >> he throws the slow curveball and stays inside. cameron might. >> he throws the 91-mile-an-hour fastball.

>> rbi and a walk. rbi and an error. reb and a hit. rupp hits it foul. trying to hit the right side? >> rupp is 3 for 4. he struck out his last time up. leads off the breaking ball. cameron does have one four hit game this year. this will be number two if he can get it.

chopper back toward the middle. there's one and two. >> able to turn double play. 4-6-3. nine men come to the plate for the phils. they've scored four runs in the inning. cervenka is charged with all four runs. we'll move to the bottom of the eighth. one american park is larger than yellowstone, yosemite, grand canyon and glacier national parks combined.

care how hard you throw. you throw 94, 95. if you don't hit your spot. so francoeur will bat here -- in agreement with bob. >> can you go from 0-2 to garcia. 0-to you for the single. 0-2 there. >> they tried to get him to go fishing to the breaking ball but they couldn't get him to go

there. a better located fastball. here's francoeur with a runner at second. a breaking ball. a smart move. that's the number francoeur wore in philadelphia in honor of dale murphy. and francoeur pops up to short. two outs. peterson is the batter. 3 for 4. he has raised his average 10 points with his effort this

they probably would have wanted severino to pitch two innings. i think they will probably get somebody else in there to pitch the ninth inning. tiler goeddel led off the eighth inning with a walk. now he's here in the ninth. his second at-bat. one ball and no strikes. the breaking ball. it is 1-1.

warming up in the bull pen. the ball hits sharply to third. one out. how beg are the miscues by the braves in the eighth? they scored four runs, two earned. now scoring two in the bottom of the eighth. it would have been different. so important to tack on runs and tonight, it was huge to do it. >> it also shows you, when your team has struggled, for the atlanta braves, for the defense. >> freddy galvis, 0-1. i think i've used the term too much this year. the margin of error is so small

when you're struggling as a team. the ball is foul. 0-2. brian snitker who took over for freddie gonzalez earlier this season. fwa talking about the margin of error being so slim. i should say 21 and 26 wins, two runs or fewer. that's a lot of games. 27 and 40 under brian snitker. galvis takes outside.

we're back here in atlanta and ian krol is here. it is about 90 degrees outside so it shouldn't take too long to get him warmed up. the bad news for the braves, they have run almost everybody in their bull pen and they have an extra pitcher in their bull pen. ramirez went 1, cervenka went a third, marksberry has gone two-thirds here and now ian krol is coming in. the seven pitcher. >> if you think it must be close to being a record, you only have seven relievers. >> they still have cabrera -- i don't want to -- >> six relievers. >> right. and they have cabrera still available. de la cruz will start tomorrow. and jim johnston is still available.

earlier tonight, number 29 and 28. throws the number of the braves. cabrera looks like he could be a bouncer somewhere. he had his arms raised up. that's not him. that's alejandro pena. co-throw a fastball really high back then. >> ted sunglasses on. not the one that played for the phils. the second one in. and alejandro pena, mike bell, he was the mvp of the softball game. >> three ball and one strike. with two outs. r runners on first and second. to center field. that will do it for the phils in the ninth inning. they lead 2. we'll head to the bottom of the ninth in atlanta.

we have wandered to the top of the ninth inning. phillies, nine runs on nine hits and they're going to turn to jeanmar gomez to finish the game off. it has not been a pretty game but the phillies will take it as far as the lead goes.

this is not a save situation. gordon beckham will lead it off against jeanmar gomez. >> he takes the strike. 0-1. foul ball. no balls and two strikes.

three hits. two allowed. low. one ball and two strikes. swing and a miss. he got him through to change up. that's the first out in the ninth inning. the philries trying to take two of the first three. if they win tonight, they can finish it out. they finish for 5-5.

>> very good movement. one of the better ones i've seen. >> freddie freeman is trying to score. the phillies trying to pick up the 48th win. it wasn't until the middle of the month where they had 48 wins last year. they're continuing to be ahead of last year's pace. >> one ball and one strike. a fastball to freeman. away from a standing standpoint in the national league east. with washington's loss, now five out. they remain seven and a half out in the a.l. east.

on the inside corner. miami also caught st. louis as far as the wild card goes. the dodgers have the one wild card spot as we speak. outside. 2-2. >> by the way torsi, to put in perspective, is the phillies won their 38th game last year in august. tomorrow is the last dave july. if they can win this one, they would be three weeks ahead of schedule from a season ago. to the right side. he just waited too long on that

ball. give freddie credit. three hits tonight for freddie freeman. and the ball has taken some odd bounces but he still needed to come and charge it. and not assume with one out in the ninth inning, that he would shut it down because he could smell a hit. >> as soon as it was hit, i'm thinking to myself, you need to charge it a little bit. he sat back a little bit. >> that's the way it is supposed to be done. >> the rbi single in the third. freeman goes. not being covered. and he will get to second.

outside.

3-1. after markakis is adonis garcia. there he is in the on deck circle. >> fly ball. center field. freddie freeman tags from second. he will draw the throw. two outs. the phillies, one out away from finishing this ball game off.

adonls garcia has scored three runs tonight. 2 for 3 and walked in the ball game outside. 1-0. the fact gomez is pitching tonight does not mean he'll be off tomorrow in the same situation. a little different than other closers because he doesn't have a violent delivery. he works out every sent day like a lot of pitchers do. but he works out pretty hard. even though he's thrown 15 pitches tonight. inside.

2-0. i can understand what he's thinking though. four runs. i know it is three runs and a save. but his thought is i'm going to finish this one off. i'm not going to take any more chances. fastball at the knees. it's 2-1. gomez last pitched on thursday when he threw 23 pitches. back toward the box. flagged out by jeanmar. he made the run. he flips it to ryan howard and the ball game is over. the phillies win it 9-5 to take

game three of the four-game series. look at the look in his face. there is a lot of anguish in managing games like this. 48 wins for the phils. they are ten games under the .500 mark. cameron rupp had a big day. he is our chevrolet player of the game. so jeremy hellickson gets the win. how big was this double in the fifth inning? coming one 0-2? the inside bag. third base. great timing. the delivery of the game. >> don't forget, they wanted him

to punt. murph, you're with cam. >> joining us now, a big night for you. first off, a feel-good feeling. he know you've been working on things every major leaguer does but you looked pretty locked in. >> seeing it a bit deeper. i was getting out front. flying open. i wanted to stay back. i got some pitches, drove in a run. and aid good night. >> the other thing the team did well was added on. the crazy eighth inning. you send nine guys to the plate. you score four runs. that's what you have to do to take advantage. >> absolutely. that's what every good team does. we have to continue to do that. put the ball in play. >> jeremy hellickson once again keeping this team, not only with his arm, but keeping the team in

and giving them a chance. >> did he a great job for us. he established it early. made his pitches when he needed to. and then it was the third or fourth inning. a double, scored a couple runs. >> thank you very much. >> guys, let's send it back up there. >> cam is a little weary. the fifth inning that jeremy picked up that double. it was the big hit. they had four in the eighth. they win it 9-5. we'll be back to wrap it up after this.

the final score tonight from turner field. the phillies, 9, and the braves, 5. the phillies have 48 wins on the season. jeremy hellickson is above the .500 mark. he scattered nine hits that you he also sparked the offense with a two-run double. the season high eight walks for the phillies. and that certainly helped them in the victory. our next telecast, tomorrow afternoon. 1:30 on csn. the sunday show gets everything underway. >> our associate producer, tonight's director was ray tipton. now from upstairs, phils wint i 9-5. stay tuned here for nbc 10 news starting now.
