Phillies 4, Indians 3
PHILADELPHIA -- Freddy Galvis drove in the go-ahead run with a seventh-inning single as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Cleveland Indians 4-3 Saturday night for their fifth straight victory.
Galvis also hit a two-run homer in the first inning for Philadelphia, which won for the eighth time in nine games to improve to 14-10.
Andrew Bailey (1-0), the second of five Phillies pitchers, earned the victory by working a scoreless inning in relief.
Jeanmar Gomez pitched out of a jam in the ninth for his eighth save in as many opportunities. Cleveland's Jason Kipnis lined out to Peter Bourjos in deep right field with runners at second and third to end the game.
Indians reliever Tommy Hunter (0-1), making his first appearance of the season after coming off the disabled list Friday, took the loss.
With the score tied 3-3, pinch hitter David Lough, batting for Bailey, led off the Philadelphia seventh with a bloop single to center. He advanced to second on Bourjos' sacrifice.
Galvis then blooped Hunter's 1-0 offering into right field, bringing Lough home.
Philadelphia starter Jerad Eickhoff went six innings and yielded three runs and six hits while striking out four. He did not issue a walk. He also contributed an RBI single in the second inning.
Cleveland's Trevor Bauer made his first start of the season in place of an injured Carlos Carrasco, going four innings and allowing three runs and five hits while striking out four and walking two.
Philadelphia's Odubel Herrera lined Bauer's first pitch in the bottom of the first into center field for a single, extending his hitting streak to 11 games and his on-base streak, already a career best, to 21.
Galvis, the next hitter, launched Bauer's 0-1 changeup into the stands in right field for his third homer of the season, giving the Phillies a 2-0 lead.
Eickhoff made it 3-0 with an RBI single in the second. The hit scored Darin Ruf, who opened the inning with a double.
Kipnis' sacrifice fly in the third drove in the Indians' first run of the night, and Cleveland scored twice in the fifth to tie it.
Tyler Naquin led off the inning with a triple and came home on a sacrifice fly by Roberto Perez. Lonnie Chisenhall then singled off Eickoff's glove and one out later stole second. Kipnis then concluded a nine-pitch at-bat by lining a run-scoring single to center, making it 3-3.
Philadelphia missed an opportunity to take the lead in the bottom of the fifth when Herrera attempted to score from third after reliever Joba Chamberlain bounced a 1-2 breaking ball to Ryan Howard. Perez, the Indians' catcher, blocked the ball, recovered it when it bounced a few feet away and tagged Herrera as he made a headfirst dive toward the plate.
NOTES: The Phillies placed RHP Dalier Hinojosa on the 15-day disabled list because of a bruised right hand and recalled RHP Colton Murray from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. ... First baseman Ryan Howard's walk-off home run in the 11th inning of Friday's 4-3 victory over Cleveland was the sixth such homer he has hit in his 13-year career with the Phillies. Five have come in extra innings, the most in franchise history and third-most among active major leaguers, according to Elias. Albert Pujols of Anaheim has eight and Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees has six. ... The home run was the 362nd of Howard's career, moving him past Joe DiMaggio and into sole possession of 81st place on the all-time list. ... Cleveland has three walk-off losses this season, all coming in the last four games. The other two came Monday and Tuesday in Minnesota.
