PHILADELPHIA, May 10 (UPI) -- Casey Kotchman's three hits and three RBI Sunday led the Atlanta Braves to a 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Kotchman hit a key two-out, two-run single in the seventh to erase a 2-1 deficit and added a ninth-inning RBI double.

Garret Anderson had two hits and one RBI for the Braves, who stranded 24 base runners, six by right fielder Jeff Francoeur, but won for the second time in the three-game series.

Winner Kenshin Kawakami (2-4) surrendered two earned runs and five hits in six innings with four walks and six strikeouts.

Rafael Soriano, the last of four Atlanta pitchers, earned his third save.

Philadelphia got two hits and one RBI from Matt Stairs.

Pedro Feliz knocked in a run and Ryan Howard added two hits for the Phillies, who have lost four of five.

The losing pitcher was reliever Jack Taschner (1-1).
