Marsh, Turner have RBIs in 10th inning as Phillies sweep Rays with 7-6 win

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Brandon Marsh and Trea Turner each had two hits and drove in a run in the 10th inning to cap a comeback from four runs down and lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-6 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night.

Philadelphia tied the score in the ninth, handing Pete Fairbanks his first blown save in nine opportunities. After Kyle Schwarber led off with a single to extend his on-base streak to 43 games, the Phillies lifted him for pinch runner Johan Rojas. Fairbanks then sailed a pickoff attempt over first base, allowing Rojas to advance to third and score on Max Kepler’s RBI grounder.

Marsh led off the 10th with a double to left-center off Manuel Rodriguez (0-1) to drive in pinch-runner Edmundo Sosa, and he scored two batters later on Turner's single to center.

Junior Caminero hit a solo homer for Tampa Bay in the first and Yandy Díaz hit a three-run shot in the seventh to give the Rays a 5-1 lead.

Bryson Stott hit a three-run homer, his second hit of the game, off Edwin Uceta to cut the Rays’ lead to 5-4 in the eighth.

Matt Strahm gave up a run in a shaky 10th and stranded the tying run on second to register his second save.

Philadelphia has won nine of its last 11 and handed the Rays their seventh straight loss at Steinbrenner Field, their temporary home this season.

With the score tied in the bottom of the ninth, Taylor Walls singled off Jose Alvarado (4-1). Then, J.T. Realmuto threw out Walls stealing second on a pitch that struck out Diaz. Replay review upheld the Tampa Bay challenge, which appeared to lack definitive footage to overturn the call. Alvarado retired Christopher Morel to send the game to extra innings.

Phillies starter Jesús Luzardo had pitched 40 1/3 innings without allowing a home run until the first inning, when Caminero launched his 2-1 fastball over the left-field wall.

Phillies RHP Aaron Nola (1-5, 4.61 ERA) goes against Guardians RHP Gavin Williams (2-2, 5.06). The Rays continue their homestand against Milwaukee, starting RHP Zack Littell (2-5, 4.61) against Brewers LHP José Quintana (4-1, 2.83).

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian traders and shopkeepers staged a second day of protests Monday after the country’s currency plummeted to a new record low against the U.S. dollar.

Videos on social media showed hundreds taking part in rallies in Saadi Street in downtown Tehran as well as in the Shush neighborhood near Tehran's main Grand Bazaar, which played a crucial role in the 1979 Islamic Revolution that ousted the monarchy and brought Islamists to power.

Witnesses told The Associated Press that traders shut their shops and asked others to do the same. The semiofficial ILNA news agency said many businesses and merchants stopped trading even though some kept their shops open.

There was no reports of police raids though security was tight at the protests, according to witnesses.

On Sunday, protest gatherings were limited to two major mobile market in downtown Tehran, where the demonstrators chanted anti-government slogans.

Iran's rial on Sunday plunged to 1.42 million to the dollar. On Monday, it traded at 1.38 million rials to the dollar.

The rapid depreciation is compounding inflationary pressure, pushing up prices of food and other daily necessities and further straining household budgets, a trend that could worsen by a gasoline price change introduced in recent days.

According to the state statistics center, inflation rate in December rose to 42.2% from the same period last year, and is 1.8% higher than in November. Foodstuff prices rose 72% and health and medical items were up 50% from December last year, according to the statistics center. Many critics see the rate a sign of an approaching hyperinflation.

Reports in official Iranian media said that the government plans to increase taxes in the Iranian new year that begins March 21 have caused more concern.

Iran’s currency was trading at 32,000 rials to the dollar at the time of the 2015 nuclear accord that lifted international sanctions in exchange for tight controls on Iran’s nuclear program. That deal unraveled after U.S. President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew the United States from it in 2018. There is also uncertainty over the risk of renewed conflict following June’s 12-day war involving Iran and Israel. Many Iranians also fear the possibility of a broader confrontation that could draw in the United States, adding to market anxiety.

In September, the United Nations reimposed nuclear-related sanctions on Iran through what diplomats described as the “snapback” mechanism. Those measures once again froze Iranian assets abroad, halted arms transactions with Tehran and imposed penalties tied to Iran’s ballistic missile program.
