PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Brandon Marsh homered for the third
straight day and drove in two runs, Rafael Marchán also went deep and
the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Chicago White Sox 9-5 on Sunday.
Marsh connected in the third inning off David Sandlin, his eighth of the
year, and hit an RBI single in the sixth. The outfielder, who has never
batted higher than .280 in a full season, raised his National
League-leading average to .338 with his 2-for-4 afternoon. |

Marchán hit his second homer of the season in the second inning,
a two-run shot. The Phillies took two of three from the White
Sox to conclude a 5-1 homestand and moved a season-best five
games over .500 (35-30).
In a game that featured four lead changes, the Phillies went
ahead for good against Tyler Davis (2-3) in the fifth. Alec Bohm
tied it with a double, Bryson Stott followed with a go-ahead RBI
single, and Bohm scored on a double-play grounder to make it
7-5.
After Marsh's hit in the sixth, Bohm added an RBI single.
José Alvarado (3-1) worked a scoreless sixth as the Phillies'
bullpen closed out the game with 4 2/3 scoreless innings in
relief of Aaron Nola.
Randal Grichuk had two hits for the White Sox, including a
pinch-hit two-run single in the fifth. Tristan Peters doubled
twice off Nola and Sam Antonacci also had two hits.
Tyler Gilbert got two outs and allowed one run as the opener for
the White Sox. It was the first run surrendered by a White Sox
opener in 11 games (13 innings) this season.
