ATLANTA (AP) Jeff Francoeur hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the seventh inning Sunday, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1.

Francoeur's seventh home run this season came off Andrew Bailey (3-1), who has allowed 19 earned runs in his last 16 2/3 innings.

Mauricio Cabrera (2-0), the fourth of six Atlanta pitchers, pitched a one-hit seventh.
