A single by Rafael Ramirez keyed a two-run 10th inning that lifted the Braves to a 5-3 triumph over the Phillies. With the score 3-3, Glenn Hubbard led off the 10th with a single, was sacrificed to second by Bruce Benedict and scored on Ramirez' single. Ramirez reached third when center fielder Garry Maddox misplayed his hit, and tallied on a single by Brett Butler. [The Sporting News]
