Hakanson Helps Philadelphia Bombard Atlanta
The Philadelphia Phillies easily defeated the Atlanta Firebirds, 17-4, at Citizens Bank Park, with left fielder Ivan Hakanson a main contributor to the win. He went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 6 for Philadelphia. The winner was António Pacheco, who threw 79 pitches over 6 innings. The left-hander was charged with 3 runs on 7 hits. Philadelphia, now 71-63, has won 10 straight games.

Maikel Franco, who finished 2nd in the NL in OPS with .992 in 2020, chipped in a 2-run single for Philadelphia in the bottom of the second. For the game, the third baseman had 3 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 2 singles, 3 runs scored, and 4 runs batted in.

"Young guys to old guys," said Hakanson, "we're all going out there and doing what it takes to win."
