Corbin Carroll and Geraldo Perdomo each knocked in three runs as the Arizona Diamondbacks salvaged the finale of their road series with the Philadelphia Phillies with an 11-9, 10-inning victory on Sunday.
Perdomo went 4-for-5 and scored twice, while Carroll and Jose Herrera each added two hits for Arizona. Josh Naylor delivered the go-ahead single in the 10th after the Diamondbacks had squandered a six-run lead earlier in the contest and a two-run lead in the ninth.
Weston Wilson hit a three-run home run while Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber also homered for the Phillies, who had been 6-1 over their previous seven games.
After trailing 7-1 early, the Phillies entered the bottom of the ninth down 8-6.
With two outs, Schwarber brought the hosts within a run with his National League-leading 11th homer — a line drive blast against Shelby Miller (3-0). Nick Castellanos and J.T. Realmuto followed with singles before Alec Bohm flared a game-tying single into center.
Arizona wasted little time regaining the lead, as Naylor opened the 10th with an RBI single against Jose Alvarado (3-1). The lefty then yielded a walk and Tim Tawa’s sacrifice fly before giving way to Carlos Hernandez, who allowed three more baserunners, including a bases-loaded walk to Perdomo that made it 11-8.
The Phillies threatened in the 10th as Wilson singled to put runners on the corners and Max Kepler followed with a sacrifice fly. Trea Turner then reached on a single to bring the winning run to the plate, but Jalen Beeks got Harper on a flyout and Schwarber on a grounder to end it.
Harper hit an opposite-field homer in the first, but the Diamondbacks responded with three runs against Ranger Suarez in the third inning, capped by Carroll’s two-run single. The visitors tacked on four more runs in the fourth, highlighted by Herrera’s two-run double.
Philadelphia began to chip away in the fourth, as Johan Rojas supplied an RBI single. Wilson then made a major dent in the deficit with a three-run homer in the sixth against Juan Morillo, who had just come on in relief of Arizona starter Eduardo Rodriguez.
After a five-week stint on the injured list with a back injury, Suarez made his season debut for Philadelphia and allowed seven runs, seven hits and two walks in 3 2/3 innings. He struck out six before exiting after 82 pitches.
Rodriguez struck out 10 batters for the Diamondbacks, who had dropped seven of their previous 10 games. The left-hander allowed four runs (three earned), five hits and four walks in 5 1/3 innings.
