Marsh, Turner have RBIs in 10th inning as Phillies sweep Rays with 7-6 win

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) --- Brandon Marsh and Trea Turner each had two hits and drove
in a run in the 10th inning to cap a comeback from four runs down and lead the
Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-6 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night.
Philadelphia tied the score in the ninth, handing Pete Fairbanks his first
blown save in nine opportunities. After Kyle Schwarber led off with a single to
extend his on-base streak to 43 games, the Phillies lifted him for pinch runner
Johan Rojas. Fairbanks then sailed a pickoff attempt over first base, allowing
Rojas to advance to third and score on Max Kepler's RBI grounder.
Marsh led off the 10th with a double to left-center off Manuel Rodriguez (0-1)
to drive in pinch-runner Edmundo Sosa, and he scored two batters later on
Turner's single to center.
Junior Caminero hit a solo homer for Tampa Bay in the first and Yandy Daz hit
a three-run shot in the seventh to give the Rays a 5-1 lead.
Bryson Stott hit a three-run homer, his second hit of the game, off Edwin Uceta
to cut the Rays' lead to 5-4 in the eighth.
Matt Strahm gave up a run in a shaky 10th and stranded the tying run on second
to register his second save.
Philadelphia has won nine of its last 11 and handed the Rays their seventh
straight loss at Steinbrenner Field, their temporary home this season.
Key moment With the score tied in the bottom of the ninth, Taylor Walls singled off Jose Alvarado (4-1). Then, J.T. Realmuto threw out Walls stealing second on a pitch that struck out Diaz. Replay review upheld the Tampa Bay challenge, which appeared to lack definitive footage to overturn the call. Alvarado retired Christopher Morel to send the game to extra innings.
Key stat Phillies starter Jess Luzardo had pitched 40 1/3 innings without allowing a home run until the first inning, when Caminero launched his 2-1 fastball over the left-field wall.
Up next Phillies RHP Aaron Nola (1-5, 4.61 ERA) goes against Guardians RHP Gavin Williams (2-2, 5.06). The Rays continue their homestand against Milwaukee, starting RHP Zack Littell (2-5, 4.61) against Brewers LHP Jos Quintana (4-1, 2.83). ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb
