Phillies Outlast Cardinals in Extra Innings

Alec Bohm had an RBI double in the 10th inning and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3 on Monday night.

Bohm’s hit off Ryan Helsley (1-1) drove in automatic runner Cristian Pache, and Bryson Stott followed with a sacrifice fly for the insurance run as the Phillies won for the third time in their last four games.

Gregory Soto got the last three outs for his first save.

The Cardinals rallied for two runs in the bottom of the ninth off Jeff Hoffman (1-0) to tie it. Jordan Walker drove in the first run with a sacrifice fly and Masyn Winn’s two-out single tied it 3-all.

The rally spoiled the second straight scoreless start for Phillies starter Spencer Turnbull, who allowed just two hits in six inning while striking out six.

Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas allowed two runs and six hits in 6 2/3 innings.

Iván Herrera greeted reliever Seranthony Domínguez with a home run to lead off the seventh and pull the Cardinals within one. Herrera’s second of the season grazed the top of Brandon Marsh’s glove before clearing the left field wall.

Marsh had a solo homer off Giovanny Gallegos in the ninth to give the Phillies a 3-1 lead.

RHP Sonny Gray (debut) will make his first start for the Cardinals against RHP Zack Wheeler (0-1, 0.75 ERA) and the Phillies on Tuesday night. Gray is working his way back from a right hamstring strain suffered in spring training, while Wheeler is 4-2 with a 2.44 ERA in seven career starts against St. Louis.
