Rico Carty clouted three homers and a single, driving in six runs, and Jim Nash posted his sixth straight victory as the Braves belted the Phillies, 9-1. Carty started the scoring with a two-run homer in the third inning and singled for another RBI when the Braves added four runs in the fifth. Carty's second homer also came with a man on base in the sixth and his solo shot wound up the scoring in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
