Hinske's one-out double to right after Chipper Jones and Brian McCann led off with singles knotted the score 1-1. Melky Cabrera followed with a single to left to give the Braves the lead, and Omar Infante's sacrifice fly made it 3-1.
The Braves added a run in the eighth on Troy Glaus' RBI single, and Billy Wagner pitched the ninth inning for his fourth save in five chances.
Atlanta reliever Eric O'Flaherty (2-1) faced only one batter, retiring Ryan Howard on an inning-ending double-play in the fifth, to pick up the victory as gusty winds blew throughout Citizens Bank Park. Six relievers combined to hold the Phillies scoreless over 4 2-3 innings.
The Phillies had numerous scoring opportunities throughout the afternoon but were hurt by three double-plays. They also had runners on second and third with two outs in the seventh, but reliever Johnny Venters retired Howard on fly ball to short right field.
Kris Medlen only lasted 4 1-3 innings for Atlanta, allowing nine hits and one run while striking out three. He was starting in place of Jair Jurrjens, who is on the disabled list with a strained right hamstring.
Medlen gave up the Phillies' only run on Shave Victorino's RBI single in the second inning.
Philadelphia's Joe Blanton (0-2) pitched six innings, giving up five hits and three runs in his second start of the season. Phillies starters had gone 42 innings and allowed only two earned runs before the Braves rallied in the sixth.
In fact, Blanton didn't allow a hit until Medlen's leadoff single in the fifth. Third baseman Greg Dobbs slid to his left and reached for the ball but it glanced off his glove, giving the Braves pitcher his first big league hit in 17 at-bats.
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel missed the game due to personal reasons but is expected to return for the series finale Sunday. Bench coach Pete Mackanin took his place.

Schneider had a left Achilles' strain. ... Medlen was 0 for 16 before his first hit. ... The Phillies are 16-7 against right-handed starters this season.
