ATLANTA — Christian Bethancourt paid close attention to the Braves' hitting woes, even when he was with Triple-A Gwinnett. One day after his recall from the minors, the rookie catcher played a big role in helping the Braves break out of their slump. Bethancourt had three hits in his return to the major leagues, including a fifth-inning single that drove in the go-ahead run in Atlanta's 7-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday.
