ATLANTA — Cameron Rupp hit a three-run double with two outs in the 10th inning, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 7-4 after blowing a four-run lead on Thursday night. Rupp had been 3 for 22 on the trip and was hitless in four at-bats on the night before his drive into the left-center gap off Ian Krol. Odubel Herrera matched his career high with four hits, including a triple off Jason Grilli (1-2) leading off the 10th.
