(Philadelphia, PA) — Randal Grichuk drilled the go-ahead RBI-double in the 11th inning as the Cardinals clipped the Phillies 4-3 in Philadelphia. Grichuk also belted a solo home run for the Cards. Jedd Gyorko drilled the tying homer in the final frame for St. Louis. Adam Wainwright pitched six innings, with Seung-hwan Oh earning the relief win. Odubel Herrera and Freddy Galvis launched solo homers for the Phillies. Adam Morgan tossed six innings of one-run ball, but Frank Herrmann took the loss.
DENVER (AP) Ryan Raburn hit an RBI double and continued home when
the Cubs threw away the relay, capping a two-run rally in the 11th
inning against Aroldis Chapman and sending the Colorado Rockies
over Chicago 7-6 early Saturday.
On a wet night when rain delayed the start for more than two hours,
and with temperatures dropping into the 40s, the Rockies wound up
winning well past midnight.
Dexter Fowler, who led off the game with a home run, gave Chicago a
6-5 lead by blooping an RBI single in the top of the 11th.
In the bottom half, Nick Hundley singled with one out off Chapman
(0-1). Raburn then tied it with a drive off the right-field wall.
And when second baseman Javier Baez made a wild throw that got past
catcher Willson Contreras and flew into the Cubs’ dugout, the
umpires waved Raburn home.
Matt Carasiti (1-0) got the win.
