Tyler Phillips, Phillies’ bullpen twirl shutout to end Pirates’ streak

phillies phillips

Tyler Phillips pitched six shutout innings and Nick Castellanos homered to help the Philadelphia Phillies notch a 6-0 victory over the host Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday afternoon.

Castellanos, Alec Bohm and Garrett Stubbs each had two hits, one RBI and one run for Philadelphia, which halted a three-game losing streak. The skid matched a season-worst from late May.

Phillips (2-0) allowed four hits and one walk while striking out three to help the Phillies avoid being swept in the three-game series.

Yunior Marte, Jose Alvarado and Jose Ruiz each pitched a scoreless inning of relief for the Phillies.

The Pirates had just six hits while seeing their season-best six-game winning streak come to an end. Joey Bart had two hits for the Pirates, who had just one at-bat with a runner in scoring position.

Pittsburgh starter Marco Gonzales (1-1) allowed two runs and six hits over 4 2/3 innings. He struck out four and walked one.

Alec Bohm led off the Philadelphia second inning with a single to left and he moved to third on Edmundo Sosa’s one-out double to deep left center.

Weston Wilson hit a sacrifice fly to score Bohm and Stubbs followed with a run-scoring single to right.

The score remained 2-0 until the seventh when an error by Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz set up Philadelphia’s three-run inning.

Stubbs walked off Kyle Nicolas to start the inning before Cristian Pache struck out. Slow-running Kyle Schwarber followed with a grounder to second that was a sure inning-ending double play, but Cruz dropped the throw at second and both runners were safe.

Trea Turner followed with an RBI single to right and Harper’s groundout scored Schwarber. Bohm then laced a single to left to make it three unearned runs in the frame and give the Phillies a 5-0 lead.

Philadelphia loaded the bases in the eighth but Turner grounded out against Josh Fleming to end the inning.

Castellanos homered to left off Fleming with two outs in the ninth, his 14th blast of the season.
