Braves earn crucial win over Phillies on anniversary of Hank Aaron's 715th home run

A regular-season win in the 10th game of the season has never felt so sweet for the Atlanta Braves. 

On the 51st anniversary of Hank Aaron's historic 715th home run on April 8, 1974, the Braves earned a crucial win over a division rival at home that could serve as a much-need shot in the arm. 

Atlanta came into Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies with an abysmal 1-8 record, having just won its first game of the season on Friday against the Miami Marlins. On Tuesday, Atlanta and Phillies took part in a back-and-forth affair that ended with the Braves snagging their second victory of the season. 

Philadelphia struck first and took a 1-0 lead in the first inning, but the lead swapped hands several times throughout the course of the game. The Braves took a 3-1 lead after Sean Murphy went yard in his first plate appearance of the season before giving up four unanswered runs to the Phillies, who in turn, allowed Atlanta to score the final four runs of the contest.
