SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Casey Schmitt drove home the go-ahead run on a
groundball in the eighth inning, Matt Chapman made a headfirst dive into home
moments later for another run, and the San Francisco Giants beat the
Philadelphia Phillies 3-1 on Monday night.
Orion Kerkering (5-4) hit Willy Adames with a pitch to start the Giants' eighth
before Chapman's single advanced Adames to third. Wilmer Flores was also
plunked to load the bases for Schmitt.
Tyler Rogers (4-2) allowed a leadoff single to Kyle Schwarber in the top of the
eighth but worked out of the jam for the win. Camilo Doval finished for his
14th save -- getting J.T. Realmuto to line out on a 95 mph sinker for the first
out after a 13-pitch battle before ending it on a 3-6 double play.
San Francisco had also loaded the bases in the second with no outs against
lefty Cristopher Snchez, who then struck out Jung Hoo Lee before an RBI
groundout by Luis Matos. That inning, Snchez issued his first walk in five
starts -- ending a career-best stretch without a free pass.
The Phillies tied the score at 1 in the fifth on a wild pitch by San Francisco
starter Landen Roupp.
Schmitt returned for the Giants following a 10-game absence after being hit on
the left hand by a pitch June 25.
Philadelphia's offense went cold. The Phillies had won three of four and five
of seven, scoring 29 runs.
Key moment With the go-ahead run on first and one out in the fifth, Giants right fielder Matos made a diving catch on Schwarber's sharp line drive. Bryce Harper was then called out on strikes to end the threat. Key stat Adames has a season-best eight-game hitting streak after a two-out double in the fifth for San Francisco. Up next Phillies RHP Taijuan Walker (3-5, 3.64 ERA) pitches against Giants LHP Robbie Ray (9-3, 2.68) on Tuesday. --- AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb |
