Sean Murphy and Ozzie Albies both had three hits and drove in four runs as the visiting Atlanta Braves extended their winning streak to five games with a 9-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday.
Murphy was 3-for-3 with two doubles, a home run, a walk, two runs and was hit by a pitch. The home run was his third of the season and carried 394 feet, nearly reaching the fountains in left-center field.
The Braves combined for 14 hits, with Matt Olson, Vaughn Grissom and Kevin Pillar each picking up two. The winning pitcher was Bryce Elder , who pitched 5 1/3 innings and allowed three runs on eight hits with two walks and four strikeouts. He allowed a run in the first inning to end a personal 13-inning scoreless streak to start the season.
The Braves got a run in the first inning on Murphy's two-out double, but the Royals answered in the bottom half of the frame with a two-out RBI double by Salvador Perez.
