Bohm’s Walk-Off Triple in the 10th Lifts Phillies to 7-6 Win over Cardinals for Seventh Straight
Bohm’s third hit of the game extended Philadelphia’s winning streak to seven as the Phillies scored twice in the 10th, officials said.
Alec Bohm hit a walk-off two-run triple in the 10th inning Friday, lifting the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-6 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals at Citizens Bank Park.
St. Louis took an early lead on a two-run homer by rookie Joshua Baez, though Philadelphia responded with back-to-back RBI doubles from Brandon Marsh and J.T. Realmuto in the second.
Trailing 6-5 in the 10th, the Phillies rallied after Jose Fermin's RBI single; Bohm drove in automatic runner Bryce Harper and Edmundo Sosa to clinch the comeback.
Philadelphia's seventh consecutive victory moved the team to 13 games over.500, positioning them within four games of the National League East-leading Atlanta Braves.
Following starter Hunter Dobbins' exit Friday due to forearm tightness, the Cardinals have not yet announced a starting pitcher for Saturday's matchup against the Phillies.
