Tommie Harris' wife dies
ATLANTA, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- Pedro Feliz had two hits and one RBI Sunday, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a rain-delayed 4-2 over the Atlanta Braves.
The contest was one of Sunday's longest because of a rain delay of almost two hours at Atlanta's Turner Field.
Feliz hit a one-out RBI single in the top of the fourth, giving Philadelphia a 3-1 lead. Ben Francisco, Chase Utley and Raul Ibanez had one RBI each for the NL East-leading Phillies, who had 10 hits off four pitchers and won twice in the three-game series.
The winner was reliever Tyler Walker (2-0). Closer Brad Lidge earned his 31st save.
Atlanta got one RBI each from Matt Diaz and Brian McCann. Chipper Jones and David Ross had two hits each for the Braves, who fell to 5 1/2 games back of Colorado in the NL wild-card race.
The losing pitcher was starter Tommy Hanson (10-4).
