Bryson Stott homered, doubled and drove in five runs to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 6-4 comeback victory over the Atlanta Braves on Monday night.

Alec Bohm doubled and had three hits for the Phillies, who rebounded from a three-game sweep at home against the lowly Chicago Cubs last weekend.

"It’s huge after losing three to the Cubs being able to come back today and pull that one out," Stott said. "Hopefully that’ll give us the momentum to keep going."
