PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Rookie Aaron Nola pitched seven innings and Odubel Herrera hit a three-run homer to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night.

Nola (6-2) rebounded from the worst start of his career, allowing six hits with a career-high seven strikeouts and one walk, to help Philadelphia snap a five-game losing streak. The right-hander gave up six runs and nine hits in four innings of a 9-4 loss at the New York Mets last Wednesday.

Cesar Hernandez had two hits and Brian Bogusevic had an RBI for Philadelphia.

Atlanta rookie pitcher Ryan Weber made his major league debut. He took the loss even though he allowed just two runs in six innings of work.

A day after snapping their 12-game losing streak and 13-game road skid, Atlanta managed just seven hits against three Phillies pitchers while losing its 20th game in the last 22.
