PHILADELPHIA (AP) 鈥� Colorado pinch-hitter Troy Johnston in the 11th inning, and Jake McCarthy plated Johnston with a single, boosting the Rockies to a 9-7 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night.
After the Phillies climbed out of a six-run hole and tied the game on rookie Justin Crawford’s 鈥� a two-out, two-run shot in the eighth 鈥� Colorado reliever Victor Vodnik (1-2) went 1-2-3 through the heart of the Phillies lineup in the ninth, then pitched a scoreless 10th.
The Rockies鈥� Juan Mejia retired Kyle Schwarber (who went 1 for 6 with a homer and four strikeouts) and Bryce Harper in the 11th to end it and earn his second save. Brad Keller (1-1) worked the 11th for Philadelphia.
Colorado鈥檚 Hunter Goodman had four hits, including a two-run homer to key a five-run fourth inning. Philadelphia starter Jesus Luzardo was removed after facing seven batters without getting an out in the frame.
Luzardo seemed in control until the fourth, when Colorado had five hits, including Goodman’s homer and a two-run double by Kyle Karros, to push ahead 6-0.
Rockies starter Chase Dollander allowed one hit through the first five innings, but he made a mistake to Schwarber, who put one into the upper deck in right field to start the sixth. It was Schwarber鈥檚 13th homer of the season and 200th as a Phillie.
Four batters later, J.T. Realmuto doubled to bring home Brandon Marsh, cutting the Rockies’ lead to 6-2 and ending Dollander鈥檚 night.
Tyler Freeman homered for Colorado in the seventh. In the eighth, Marsh singled home Harper, who was on base four times with two singles and a pair of walks. Bryson Stott then lined a two-run double to make it 7-5.
