Phillies hold on after Miami's 6-run 9th to beat Marlins 11-10

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Trea Turner had four hits, Bryson Stott and Johan Rojas each had three and the Philadelphia Phillies survived Miami's six-run ninth inning to beat the Marlins 11-10 on Saturday.

Philadelphia scored seven runs over the third and fourth inning to seemingly blow open the game and went on to outhit the Marlins 18-15 win for the fourth time in five games.

Dane Myers hit a three-run homer and Liam Hicks added a two-run shot, both off Jordan Romano as part of a six-run ninth for the Marlins. Romano, in the midst of a rough first season in Philly, was heavily booed as he trudged off the mound.

José Alvarado got the final out in the ninth for his fifth save.

The NL East champion Phillies pounded a Marlins staff sapped of real depth this early in the season. Cal Quantrill (1-2) gave up seven runs in 3 1/3 innings and Patrick Monteverde, in his big-league debut, allowed four runs over 3 2/3 innings.

The Phillies have gone 11 straight series at home without losing a series. The Phillies can complete a three-game sweep on Sunday.

Philadelphia won this one without hitting a home run — the Phillies have 20 this season.

They led 2-0 in the third when Max Kepler's shot to right appeared to be misplayed by Kyle Stowers and landed for a two-run double. Bryson Stott added a two-RBI double in the fourth and Turner had his second run-scoring hit in two innings for a 7-1 lead.

Even with the big lead, Phillies manager Rob Thomson did not send starter Taijuan Walker out to pitch the fifth to try and earn a win. The right-hander was pulled after 56 pitches, three walks and a run in four innings.

Matt Strahm (1-0) tossed a scoreless fifth and the Phillies used three relievers to finish off the win.

The Marlins hope they won't lose left fielder Griffin Conine for any length of time after he injured his left shoulder on a headfirst slide into second and left the game. He was escorted off the field after his RBI double in the sixth inning made it 9-2.

The Phillies 6-through-9 hitters had nine hits.

The Marlins send RHP Connor Gillispie (0-2, 6.63 ERA) to the mound against Philadelphia LHP Jesús Luzardo (2-0, 2.31 ERA).

RABAT, Morocco (AP) — Mohamed Salah scored and Egypt eliminated defending champion Ivory Coast to move into the Africa Cup of Nations semifinals with a 3-2 victory on Saturday.

Salah nabbed his fourth goal of the tournament — Egypt’s third of the game — in the 52nd minute and the Pharaohs needed it as Ivory Coast threatened to twice come back from two goals down.

But Egypt held on in Agadir despite relentless Ivorian pressure and booked a semifinal date with 2021 champion Senegal in Tangier on Wednesday.

Ivory Coast had a woeful start as Franck Kessie lost the ball in midfield after a poor touch and Odilon Kossounou fell over instead of cutting out Emam Ashour’s ball for Omar Marmoush, who scored in the fourth minute.

Ramy Rabia produced a brilliant block to preserve the lead then scored himself with a header from a corner in the 32nd.

Ivory Coast finally pulled one back in the 40th when Ahmed Abou El Fotouh bundled in a dangerous Yan Diomande free kick that Kossounou headed on.

Salah restored Egypt’s two-goal cushion early in the second half when Rabia caught the Ivorian defense out with a long ball for Ashour, who set up Salah with the outside of his boot.

Guéla Doué pulled one back again with his heel in a goalmouth scramble after goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shenawy clawed the ball away in the 73rd, but the equalizer never came.

Egypt is bidding for a record-extending eighth title.

Victor Osimhen scored one goal and set up another for Nigeria to down Algeria 2-0 for its place in the semifinals.

The Super Eagles, who had a far from ideal preparation with reports of bonuses not being paid, will face host Morocco in the second semifinal in Rabat on Wednesday.

They needed patience in Marrakech against the team with the best defense in the tournament after failing to take their chances in the first half — Akor Adams fired over when he had only Luca Zidane in the Algeria goal to beat, and Calvin Bassey had another effort cleared off the line.

Osimhen finally scored after the break when he headed the ball back across Zidane’s direction of movement from Bruno Onyemaechi’s cross.

It was the first goal at the tournament conceded by Zidane, whose parents were in the stands again.

But it was quickly followed by the second.

Patient buildup play preceded Alex Iwobi’s pass to Osimhen, who unselfishly played across for Adams, who eluded the out-rushing Zidane and poked the ball into the empty net in the 57th.

Algeria coach Vladimir Petković reacted with three changes including the withdrawals of captain Riyad Mahrez and star forward Ibrahim Maza but there was nothing the Fennec Foxes could do to get back in the game against the confident and assured Nigerians, who remained in control throughout.

Adams struck the post when he looked certain to score the third.

Three-time champion Nigeria, which lost the final to Ivory Coast in the last edition, is bidding to win the title for the first time since 2013. It would help make up for the disappointment of failing to qualify for the World Cup — in contrast to Algeria.
