ATLANTA -- Rookie Johan Camargo delivered a pinch-hit double with two outs in the eighth inning to drive in two runs and give the Atlanta Braves a 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night at SunTrust Park.

The Braves rallied to score three times in the eighth against reliever Luis Garcia. Matt Adams opened with a one-out single and pinch-runner Micah Johnson stole second and scored on Dansby Swanson's single, tying the score at 2.

Swanson went to second on the throw and Rio Ruiz was intentionally walked. Both advanced on a wild pitch and scored easily when Camargo lined a 1-2 pitch in the gap in right.

The winning pitcher was left-hander Rex Brothers (4-3), who worked a scoreless eighth inning. Arodys Vizcaino pitched the ninth and struck out the side for his 13th save.

Garcia (2-5) had not allowed a run in his last 12 1/3 innings and gave up multiple runs in one inning for the first time since Aug. 3.

Phillies starter Henderson Alvarez pitched five shutout innings but failed to pick up his first victory in three years when the bullpen was unable to hold the lead. Alvarez was seeking his first major league win since Sept. 23, 2014, when he beat the Philadelphia Phillies while a member of the Miami Marlins.

The veteran right-hander pitched five shutout innings in his second start since being recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He gave up five runs and walked three ( one intentionally) and struck out two.

Atlanta starter Julio Teheran received no decision. He pitched seven innings and allowed two runs (one earned), seven hits and one walk with five strikeouts. In his last six starts, Teheran has not allowed more than three runs.

The Phillies got a run in the first inning. Nick Williams had a two-out single and came around to score when Rhys Hoskins doubled off the fence in center field.

The Braves had the bases loaded in the fourth inning and runners on the corners in the fifth but failed to score.
