Phillies win it in 10th inning after Padres rally in ninth

- By the Associated Press

Brad Miller doubled with one out in the 10th inning to rescue the Phillies’ beleaguere­d bullpen, giving Philadelph­ia a 4-3 win over the visiting San Diego Padres on Friday night.

The Phillies blew a 3-0 lead in the ninth — their 22nd blown save of the season and eighth in nine games.

Jose Alvarado got the final out of the eighth in relief of Zack Wheeler but allowed three of the first four batters to reach in the ninth, including an RBI double by Fernando Tatis Jr. Ranger Suarez came in and allowed a two-run double to Jurickson Profar.

Suarez was better in the 10th, retiring all three batters. That set up Miller, who drove a slider from Austin Adams (2-2) deep to rightcente­r with runners on first and second and one out to score Andrew McCutchen from second.

Wheeler pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings and allowed four hits with nine strikeouts and no walks.

BREWERS 7, PIRATES 2 >> Adrian Houser scattered four hits over 6 2/3 innings, and Milwaukee extended its winning streak to 10 games with a victory at Pittsburgh.

Houser (5-5) allowed one run, struck out five and walked two in his longest outing since last August.

REDS 2, CUBS 1 >> Joey Votto hit a two-run double in the sixth inning, and Cincinnati handed Chicago its seventh straight loss.

CARDINALS 9, ROCKIES 3, 10 INNINGS >> Harrison Bader hit his first career grand slam to cap a six-run 10th inning, and visiting St. Louis beat Colorado.

BRAVES 1, MARLINS 0 >> Miami starter Pablo López was ejected after plunking Ronald Acuña Jr. with his first pitch, leading to the only run as Atlanta edged the Marlins.

Atlanta got just two hits and still won its third in a row.

The Marlins have a history of hitting Acuña. Miami pitcher José Ureña was tossed after nailing with his first pitch in 2018 and López didn’t last any longer.

López was ejected for hitting Acuña in the back of the left arm and manager Don Mattingly soon was ejected, too, for arguing on his pitcher’s behalf.

Acuña advanced to third on Freddie Freeman’s single and scored on a sacrifice fly by Ozzie Albies.

Drew Smyly (6-3) gave up three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings to get the win. BLUE JAYS 11, RAYS 1 >> Alek Manoah (2-0), back from a five-game suspension, struck out a career-high 10 over seven innings of threehit ball for Toronto in its win over Tampa Bay.

George Springer, Marcus Semien and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered for Toronto, which has won nine of 12.

ASTROS 6, INDIANS 3 >> Carlos Correa sparked Houston’s four-run third inning with an RBI double and the Astros beat Cleveland, which has lost six of seven.

Lance McCullers Jr. (6-1) won his fifth straight decision, allowing two runs in 5 2/3 innings.

WHITE SOX 8, TIGERS 2 >> Andrew Vaughn homered and made two key defensive plays in left field as Chicago defeated Detroit for its fifth straight victory.

Lance Lynn (8-3) allowed one run on four hits and five walks in six innings, striking out nine.
