Sanchez sharp, Schwarber, Turner have 10th-inning hits in Phillies' 4-2 win over Angels
Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner drove in all three 10th-inning runs as Philadelphia won its 12th game in 14 tries.
On Saturday night in Anaheim, the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Los Angeles Angels 4-2 in 10 innings. Kyle Schwarber hit a go-ahead RBI double, and Trea Turner followed with a two-run single.
Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sanchez struck out eight, reaching 202 strikeouts this season, in a dominant seven-inning start. Angels starter Ryan Johnson rebounded from a shaky beginning to allow only one run over five innings.
Angels shortstop Zach Neto forced extra innings in the eighth with a solo home run off Phillies reliever Jonathan Bowlan. The 12-pitch at-bat snapped a 30-inning streak without an extra-base hit for the Angels.
In the 10th inning, Angels reliever Trevor Martin surrendered three hits, allowing three runs to score. Phillies closer Jhoan Duran threw a scoreless ninth and sealed the 4-2 victory with one unearned run allowed.
The Angels have lost six consecutive games, with all defeats decided by three runs or fewer. They face Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler on Sunday in the series finale.
