Andrew McCutchen contributed two hits and two runs for the Phillies, who won their fifth in a row and evened their record at 14-14.

Brandon Workman gave up a walk and a single yet worked a scoreless ninth and earned his third save in four opportunities since being acquired by the Phillies.

Through the first five innings, the Braves managed only two hits against Eflin -- singles by Dansby Swanson and Austin Riley.

In the fifth, Hoskins blasted a three-run homer to left-center for a 4-0 advantage. It was Hoskins' first home run at Citizens Bank Park this season and his fourth overall.

Camargo launched a mammoth 442-foot solo homer to right with one out in the sixth to close the Braves within 4-1.

Nick Markakis doubled with two outs in the seventh, but Riley grounded out to Didi Gregorius at shortstop to end the threat.

After the rain delay, Harper ripped a line drive into the gap in right-center, but Ronald Acuna Jr. made a spectacular diving catch to end the inning.

In the ninth, Workman opened by striking out Acuna. Swanson then walked on four pitches and Freddie Freeman followed with a single to left to extend his hitting streak to 12 straight. Marcell Ozuna flied out to center and Markakis lined out to a sprawling Hoskins to end the game.
