Alec Bohm’s sacrifice fly plated automatic runner Adolis Garcia in the 10th inning Thursday night, giving the Philadelphia Phillies a 6-5 victory over the visiting San Francisco Giants and their second walk-off win of a day-night doubleheader that ended about nine hours after it started.
The Phillies scored twice in the ninth inning to pull out a 3-2 win in the opener.
The doubleheader was necessitated by a rainout Wednesday night. The clubs also sat out a brief storm that prompted a 24-minute delay in the top of the sixth of the Thursday nightcap.
After the Giants stranded runners at first and third in the top of the 10th inning, the Phillies went the fundamental route to give new manager Don Mattingly his third straight win. Bryson Stott sacrificed Garcia to third, setting up Bohm’s fly to medium-deep center field.
Chase Shugart (2-0), who escaped the jam in the top of the 10th, was credited with the win — his second of the day. He is the first major league pitcher to win both games of a doubleheader since 2013 and the first Philadelphia pitcher to do so since Terry Adams in 2002.
Matt Gage (2-1), who entered the game to start the last of the 10th, took the loss.
Each team scored a two-out run in the ninth to send the game into extra innings. Jung Hoo Lee’s RBI single gave the Giants a 5-4 lead in the top of the inning before the Phillies got even on a Kyle Schwarber run-scoring double.
Down to his final strike, Schwarber capped a 4-for-4 game with the clutch hit. In the doubleheader, he went 5-for-6, drove in three runs, scored three times and collected two home runs, two doubles and three walks.
After blowing a lead in the opener, the Giants rallied from behind in the second game, twice erasing two-run deficits. A two-out, two-run single by Luis Arraez in the sixth created the 4-4 tie that stood until the ninth.
Philadelphia’s first two-run lead was the product of back-to-back solo home runs by Trea Turner, his fourth, and Schwarber, his 11th, to begin the bottom of the first. Turner connected on Adrian Houser’s first pitch, Schwarber on his fifth.
Houser was pulled after 5 2/3 innings, charged with three runs on four hits. He struck out two and walked two.
The Phillies used Tim Mayza as an opener. He threw two shutout innings, allowing two hits and one walk. He struck out two.
Turner, who had two hits, and Schwarber scored twice apiece, while Garcia had a two-RBI single.
Drew Gilbert piled up three hits while Lee, Arraez and Casey Schmitt had two apiece for the Giants, who were swept in the three-game series despite out-hitting the hosts 13-9 in the finale.
