MLB Wrap: Hoskins’ RBI double in 9th lifts Phillies over Marlins 3-2

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Rhys Hoskins raised his arms in celebration on his game-ending RBI double in the ninth inning that led the Philadelphia Phillies over the Miami Marlins 3-2 Monday night.

Hoskins’ two-out hit off Anthony Bass (1-3) scored Matt Vierling and capped a Phillies rally from a 2-1 hole in the seventh. Vierling hit a one-out single and stole second base to get into scoring position.

The Phillies have won 10 of 11 games to streak into NL wild-card contention.

Seranthony Dominguez (4-1) tossed a scoreless ninth for the win.

The Marlins led 2-1 and were in control behind ace Sandy Alcantara. Alcantara walked two runners to open the eighth but got slumping catcher J.T. Realmuto to ground into a double play. Alcantara was yanked and repeatedly slammed his mitt into water bottles in the dugout.

BRAVES 9, NATIONALS 5

WASHINGTON (AP) — Dansby Swanson and Atlanta won their 12th straight game, beating Washington despite losing All-Star second baseman Ozzie Albies to a broken left foot.

Swanson hit one of Atlanta’s season-high five homers and drove in four runs. Marcell Ozuna and Adam Duvall launched back-to-back homers for the defending World Series champions, whose winning streak is the longest in the majors this season. The stretch is Atlanta’s best since it won 14 consecutive games from July 26 to Aug. 9, 2013.

Michael Harris hit his first career home run and Travis d’Arnaud also went deep for the Braves, who have 27 homers during their winning streak. Dylan Lee (1-0) allowed one run and two hits in 2 1/3 innings.

Albies fell on his way out of the batterís box on a groundout to shortstop in the fifth inning. He exited the game, and the team later announced he has a fractured left foot. It was uncertain how long heíll be sidelined.

Nationals starter Erasmo Ramirez (1-1) was a late replacement for Josiah Gray, who had warmed up in the bullpen before the rain delay. Ramirez allowed six runs and six hits over three innings.

CARDINALS 7, PIRATES 5

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt hit a tiebreaking homer in the seventh inning and Dylan Carlson added a three-run blast to help St. Louis rally past Pittsburgh.

Brendan Donovan added a two-run double for St. Louis, which rallied from a 5-0 deficit. St. Louis has won six of seven against its NL Central rival this season.

Michael Chavis and Diego Castillo homered for the Pirates, who have lost a season-high seven straight games.

Goldschmidt broke a 5-all tie with his 13th homer off reliever Chris Stratton (3-3). Carlson punctuated a five-run outburst in the sixth with a three-run homer that tied the game.

Giovanny Gallegos (2-2) picked up the win with a scoreless inning of relief. Ryan Helsley recorded his fifth save in seven chances.

BLUE JAYS 11, ORIOLES 1

TORONTO (AP) — Alek Manoah pitched six shutout innings to extend his streak to 12, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered and had three RBIs, and Toronto beat Baltimore.

Santiago Espinal had two hits and drove in three runs as the Blue Jays pounded out a season-high 19 hits, including seven in a seven-run fifth inning.

Manoah (8-1) has won three straight starts and four consecutive decisions. He pitched six scoreless innings to beat the Royals in his previous start on June 7 at Kansas City. Manoah allowed one hit, Jorge Mateo’s leadoff single in the third. He walked one and struck out seven.

Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish (1-4) allowed five runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings, extending his winless streak to six starts. He walked one and struck out three.

RANGERS 5, ASTROS 3

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Brad Miller grounded an RBI single through a drawn-in infield for the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and Texas beat AL West-leading Houston for its third consecutive victory.

Jonah Heim greeted reliever Hector Neris (1-3) with a single to open the three-run eighth before pinch-runner Charlie Culberson stole second base and advanced on a grounder. Ezequiel Duran drove him home with a tying single, then the rookie third baseman had his first career stolen base and went to third on a wild pitch before Miller’s hit.

Corey Seager had two hits to snap a 3-for-35 slump before his RBI groundout in the eighth sent home the final run for the Rangers (29-31), who are alone in second place but 7 1/2 games behind the Astros.

Houston designated hitter Yordan Alvarez went 2 for 4 to extend his on-base streak to 14 games.

Brock Burke (4-1), the second Texas reliever, pitched two scoreless innings before Matt Moore worked a perfect ninth for his first save.
