Atlanta Braves complete three-game sweep of Philadelphia Phillies

http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/07/atlanta_braves_complete_three-.html FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES Brian McCann homered for the third straight game in the series and Dan Uggla hit a two-run shot to lead the Atlanta Braves to a three-game sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies in a 4-3 win at Citizens Bank Park. McCann hit a grand slam on Friday, a solo shot on Saturday, then hit the go-ahead homer in the seventh inning off Raul Valdes (2-2). McCann has homered in four straight games overall and has helped Atlanta head into the All-Star break on a four-game winning streak. The five-time NL East champion Phillies are staggering heading into the break. They have lost 10 of 11 games and are 13 games under .500 (37-50). The Phillies lost 60 games all of last season.
