Gary Matthews belted homers his first two times at bat, in the first and third innings, before adding a double in the seventh, good for four RBIs as the Braves snapped a five-game losing streak with a 10-5 victory over the Phillies. The Braves took a 5-4 lead in the third on the second Matthews home run, a single by Jeff Burroughs and Joe Nolan's first homer of the season. [The Sporting News]
