Braves 5, Phillies 0
Derek Lowe pitched six hitless innings and Atlanta spoiled a masterful performance by Cliff Lee with a three-run third as the Braves won their sixth straight, 5-0 over the host Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night.
Lee (2-3) struck out a career-high 16 in seven innings, allowed nine hits and walked one.
Lowe (3-3), who injured his left leg after hitting a single in the seventh, didn't allow a hit until Shane Victorino led off the bottom of the seventh with a line single to left. Lowe, clearly laboring with the injury, was pulled after Placido Polanco's ground-rule double moved Victorino to third.
Eric O'Flaherty relieved and struck out Ryan Howard, Ben Francisco and Raul Ibanez.
Lowe, who struck out four, walked Francisco with one out in the second for the Phillies' only baserunner until the seventh. Philadelphia finished with two hits off four Atlanta pitchers.
Lee struck out Lowe and Martin Pardo in the third before Alex Gonzalez doubled and Chipper Jones singled to make it 1-0. Brian McCann and Dan Uggla followed with RBI doubles.
Prado and Gonzalez added RBI singles in the ninth for Atlanta, which has won 11 of 14 and snapped Philadelphia's three-game winning streak.
Polanco left the game after his double with a toe injury.
