Phillies Capitalize On Padres' Error In 13th Inning, Win 7-5
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Second baseman Logan Forsythe bobbled Ben Revere's grounder in the 13th inning and then threw home wildly, leading to two unearned runs in the Philadelphia Phillies' 7-5 win over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night.
Chase Utley, who was hit by a pitch, and Domonic Brown, who walked against Tommy Layne (0-2) scored the decisive runs. Forsythe bounced a throw as he tried to prevent Utley from scoring. The ball bounced away from catcher Nick Hundley, allowing Brown to score also.
Joe Savory (1-0) worked one inning and Jonathan Papelbon got the final three outs for his 15th save in 19 chances.
The Phillies, who trailed 5-2 after six innings, rallied to tie it with an unearned run in the seventh and two runs in the eighth on a two-run home run by Delmon Young off Luke Gregerson.
Chris Denorfia had given the Padres a 4-2 lead with a two-run homer in the fifth. San Diego added a run in the sixth on back-to-back doubles by Chase Headley and Kyle Blanks.
Phillies starter Cole Hamels allowed five runs — four earned — and seven hits. He walked two and struck out five in six innings.
Padres rookie Robbie Erlin, called up from Triple-A Tucson earlier Wednesday, pitched 6 1-3 innings. He gave up three runs — two earned — and four hits. He struck out seven and walked only one.
Erlin left the game after giving up a single to Brown and striking out Delmon Young in the seventh.
The Phillies got within one with an unearned run in the seventh on an RBI single by pinch-hitter Kevin Frandsen after right fielder Kyle Blanks dropped a foul ball for an error on what would have been the final out of the inning.
Nick Vincent, who gave up Frandsen's hit, walked Jimmy Rollins to load the bases. But Joe Thatcher got Utley to ground out to end the threat.
The Phillies scored single runs in the first and second innings to take a 2-0 lead. Michael Young's RBI double off the wall in left-center scored Utley.
Carlos Ruiz drove in the Phillies' second run with a sacrifice fly.
The Padres tied it with two runs in the third.
