The Philadelphia Phillies’ winning streak was halted at nine-straight after taking a 5-4 loss to the A’s Sunday afternoon.

Trea Turner’s solo homer in the top of the 8th gave the Phillies a 4-3 lead, putting the Phillies in line for a 10th consecutive victory. But the A’s had other ideas.

In the bottom of the 8th, after seven strong innings from Jesus Luzardo, the Phils gave the ball to Matt Strham. He went on to allow two runs on 2 hits and a walk, giving the A’s a 5-4 lead. Mason Miller cam on to pitch the top of the 9th, and unlike his two previous appearances in this season, closed the door on the Phillies.

Luzardo gave up three runs in the first inning, then went on to toss six scoreless innings after that with a total of 10 strikeouts while throwing 105 pitches. .

The bats failed to have a big inning, but did drive in a run in four separate innings. The Phillies’ best chance for a breakout inning came in the 2nd when they took three straight walks to load the bases with no outs. A’s starter Gunnar Hoglund then got J.T. Realmuto ground into a 6-4 double play before Alec Bohm flied out to center to end the threat.

Trea Turner led the Phillies’ offensive efforts with three RBIs including his 4th homer of the season. Realmuto and Bryce Harper both went 0-for-4 in the loss.

The Philadelphia Phillies win a WILD 11 inning affair as they beat the A’s 9-6 to notch their 9th straight win!

THe Phillies trailed 6-5 with one out in the top of the 9th inning when Max Kepler saw a first-pitch fastball from Mason Miller and jumped all over it. Kepler drilled a solo homer to right to even the score and give the shot a chance at extras.

After a 1-2-3 bottom of the 9th by Tanner Banks, the Phillies failed to score first in the top of the 10th.

In the bottom of the 10th. Orion Kerkering faced a bases loaded no out situation. Somehow, he got out of it. First he forced Brent Rooker to fly out to shallow center field where Brandon Marsh made one of the best plays, if not THE best play of his career. Marsh caught Rooker’s fly ball then fired home to nail the would-be game winning run. It ended up as a 8-2 double play. Kerkering then got Langeliers to fly out to left to end the threat.

In the top of the 11th it was the Kyle Schwarber show. The “Schwarbarian” who already hit his 18th homer of the season earlier in the night, lined a two-run double to the wall in right to give the Phillies the lead. Schwarber later scored by tagging up on a Nick Castellanos fly ball to right.

Cristopher Sanchez struggled in his outing, only lasting 4.2 innings. He threw 83 pitches with just 49 of them getting over as strikes. Sanchez allowed three runs on seven hits while matching his season high of allowing three walks.

Max Lazar pitched the bottom of the 11th to record the save.

The Philadelphia Phillies get a late-inning scare, but still pull off the 4-3 win over the A’s!

Zack Wheeler tossed 6.2 innings of scoreless baseball, but struggled in the 7th with two outs, issuing back-to-back walks. Those walks were the only free passes Wheeler gave away on the night. Orion Kerkering came on in relief with runners on 1st and 2nd and got Luis Urias to chase a sweeper out of the zone to end the threat and preserve Wheeler’s 22.2 scoreless inning streak.

Trea Turner gave Wheeler the only run support he would receive while he was in the game. The Phillies’ shortstop launched a 2-1 fastball 426 feet to center field for his fourth homer of the season.

Phillies didn’t tack on anymore runs until a three-run rally in the top of the 9th. J.T. Realmuto got things going by reaching base on an infield single and advanced to third on a throwing error by shortstop Jacob Wilson. Alec Bohm then brought J.T. home with an RBI double. Johan Rojas followed in the inning and plated Bohm on an RBI single to right. Then the man that started the Phillies scoring, topped them off, Trea Turner delivered an RBI single to center to score Rojas.

Jordan Roman came on in relief to pitch the bottom of the 9th and, well…..made it interesting. He allowed the first two baserunners to reach, recorded an out, then surrendered a three-run homer to Mike Kurtz to make it a one run game.

Rob Thomson saw enough from Romano and dipped back into the Pen to get Tanner Banks who slammed the door with just four pitches.
