Phillies blow ninth-inning lead, top Cardinals in 10

Phillies, Cardinals

Alec Bohm and Bryson Stott drove in 10th-inning runs as the visiting Philadelphia Phillies outlasted the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3 Monday.

Phillies starter Spencer Turnbull allowed two hits in six shutout innings while walking one and striking out six.

Jeff Hoffman (1-0) blew his save opportunity by allowing two runs in the bottom of the ninth, but he earned the victory. Gregory Soto tossed a scoreless 10th for his first save.

Brandon Marsh (2-for-4, homer, two runs), Trea Turner (3-for-5, RBI) and Johan Rojas (3-for-4, RBI) paced the Philadelphia offense.

Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas gave up two runs on six hits and two walks in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out three.

Ryan Helsley (1-1) allowed the 10th-inning runs to take the loss.

The Phillies won for the third time in four games while the Cardinals dropped their second game in a row.

Marsh’s long ball off Giovanny Gallegos in the ninth inning gave the visitors a 3-1 lead. Garrett Stubbs subsequently reached on an error and moved to third on Rojas’ single, but Andre Pallante came on to retire Kyle Schwarber on flyout.

The Cardinals tied the game 3-3 in the bottom of the inning, Herrera drew a one-out walk, Alec Burleson hit a double, Jordan Walker followed with a sacrifice fly, and Masyn Winn hit a game-tying single.

In the 10th inning, Bohm hit an RBI double and Stott doubled the advantage with a sacrifice fly.

Turnbull hit Victor Scott II with a pitch leading off the third inning. Scott stole second base and took third on a groundout, but Turnbull struck out Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Gorman to strand him.

The Phillies took a 2-0 lead in the fifth inning. Marsh hit a single and eventually scored on Rojas’s single. Turner added a one-out RBI single before Mikolas coaxed two groundouts to limit the damage.

Ivan Herrera greeted Seranthony Dominguez with a homer in the seventh inning to cut Philadelphia’s lead to 2-1.
