Brandon Marsh homers for 3rd straight day as Phillies beat White Sox 9-5
PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- Brandon Marsh homered for the third straight day and
drove in two runs, Rafael Marchn also went deep and the Philadelphia Phillies
beat the Chicago White Sox 9-5 on Sunday.
Marsh connected in the third inning off David Sandlin, his eighth of the year,
and hit an RBI single in the sixth. The outfielder, who has never batted higher
than .280 in a full season, raised his National League-leading average to .338
with his 2-for-4 afternoon.
Marchn hit his second homer of the season in the second inning, a two-run
shot. The Phillies took two of three from the White Sox to conclude a 5-1
homestand and moved a season-best five games over .500 (35-30).
In a game that featured four lead changes, the Phillies went ahead for good
against Tyler Davis (2-3) in the fifth. Alec Bohm tied it with a double, Bryson
Stott followed with a go-ahead RBI single, and Bohm scored on a double-play
grounder to make it 7-5.
After Marsh's hit in the sixth, Bohm added an RBI single.
Jos Alvarado (3-1) worked a scoreless sixth as the Phillies' bullpen closed
out the game with 4 2/3 scoreless innings in relief of Aaron Nola.
Randal Grichuk had two hits for the White Sox, including a pinch-hit two-run
single in the fifth. Tristan Peters doubled twice off Nola and Sam Antonacci
also had two hits.
Tyler Gilbert got two outs and allowed one run as the opener for the White Sox.
It was the first run surrendered by a White Sox opener in 11 games (13 innings)
this season.

The Phillies begin a series at Toronto on Monday. Cristopher Snchez (7-2, 1.46
ERA), who saw his franchise-record scoreless streak end at 50 2/3 innings in
his last start, takes on Patrick Corbin (2-2, 3.98).
The White Sox host Atlanta on Tuesday with Davis Martin (8-2, 2.61) starting
against the Braves' Grant Holmes (4-2, 3.86).
