PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- Jose Fernandez and Adrian Del Castillo hit RBI singles in
the eighth inning as the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied to beat Philadelphia 4-3
on Sunday and send the Phillies to their fourth loss in five games.
James McCann doubled and had two hits, and Taylor Clarke (1-0) pitched a
scoreless seventh for the win as Arizona won for the fourth time in five games
and took two of three from the Phillies.
Trea Turner homered for Philadelphia, which fell to 7-8 overall.
Trailing 3-2 entering the eighth, Arizona went ahead with two runs in the
inning against Jos Alvarado (0-1).
The Phillies threatened in the bottom of the eighth with runners on first and
third with no outs. But Kevin Ginkel struck out Bryson Stott. Then, Ryan
Thompson got Adolis Garcia to pop out to second base and Arizona doubled off
Brandon Marsh at first base.
Paul Sewald pitched a scoreless ninth for his fifth save.
Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen scattered three hits over five scoreless
innings before running into trouble in the fifth. Gallen faced five batters
without getting an out and exited with the game tied at 3. Turner's two-run,
opposite-field homer and Bryce Harper's RBI double off the wall in right put
the Phillies up 3-2. Gallen gave up eight hits, struck out two and walked one.
Arizona went in front 1-0 against emergency starter Zach Pop, who replaced
scheduled starter Andrew Painter, who did not start due to a migraine but
entered to begin the third. The 23-year-old rookie retired the first nine
batters before Ildemaro Vargas led off the sixth with a double and scored on
Nolan Arenado's sacrifice fly. Painter said he felt pressure in his head and
was throwing up all morning.
Painter left after the seventh, allowing one run on three hits with seven
strikeouts and one walk in five innings.
