PHILADELPHIA -- —
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 José 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.
