Marsh Leads Phillies' 6-3 Rally as Mattingly's Start Hits 8-1

A breakthrough against a left-handed starter hints at a fix to a costly early-season flaw.

Overview

  • Philadelphia, which rallied Wednesday night to beat Oakland 6-3, moved to 17-20 and 8-1 under interim manager Don Mattingly.
  • Brandon Marsh went 3-for-4 with a triple and an RBI, lifting his season average to .336.
  • All three of Marsh's hits came off left-hander Jeffrey Springs, notable for a team that entered the night 0-10 against left-handed starters.
  • Zack Wheeler worked 6 1/3 innings of three-run ball in his first home start since thoracic outlet surgery.
  • The Phillies have won four straight games and three straight series since a May 2 shutout loss to the Marlins.
