Brandon Marsh delivers for Phillies in 11th, rookie Otto Kemp has 3 hits in 4-3 win over Cubs
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Brandon Marsh singled home the winning run in the 11th inning after the Philadelphia Phillies used two bunt hits to load the bases and beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on Monday night. Ian Happ tied it at 2 for the Cubs on a solo homer off reliever Matt Strahm in the eighth. Pete Crow-Armstrong hit an RBI double in the 11th off Carlos Hernández (1-0) for a 3-2 lead. J.T. Realmuto made it 3-all when he drove in the automatic runner with a single off Daniel Palencia (0-2). The Phillies then improbably got two straight bunt singles — the first from rookie third baseman and undrafted Division II prospect Otto Kemp, who had the third of his first three big league hits in the game. Bryson Stott — a late-inning replacement after he was benched amid a 2-for-24 slump — also bunted for a hit to set up the clutch swing from Marsh. The Phillies needed this one after they were swept in three games last weekend at Pittsburgh. Philadelphia was 1-9 over its past 10 games and fell from the top of the NL East standings. The 25-year-old Kemp bailed out the Phillies twice. Kemp, who played at Division II Point Loma Nazarene University, singled in the fifth for his first hit since he was promoted to the Phillies on Saturday. Kemp scurried to third on Cubs starter Matthew Boyd's errant pickoff attempt and scored on Weston Wilson's RBI single for a 2-1 lead. Key moment The Phillies scored only one run in the fourth to tie it at 1 after they had loaded the bases with no outs. Key stat Cubs manager Craig Counsell was ejected for the second straight game. After getting tossed Sunday at Detroit, Counsell was thrown out in the ninth inning for arguing that Kemp ran out of the baseline on an infield single. Up next The Cubs send RHP Colin Rea (4-2, 3.59 ERA) to the mound against Phillies RHP Mick Abel (1-0, 0.79) on Tuesday. ___ AP MLB:

Dodgers Make Move After Mets Game
Dodgers Make Move After Mets Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Landon Knack (3-2, 5.12 ERA) was having a rough season coming into Thursday's game against the New York Mets, but was coming off two consecutive quality starts. Unfortunately for the 27-year-old, he didn't maintain that momentum. Advertisement Knack coughed up four runs on four hits in just 3.1 innings pitched, adding five walks and just one strikeout. The second-year hurler gave up a solo homer to star slugger Pete Alonso in the second frame and solo homers to outfielder Brandon Nimmo and designated hitter Starling Marte in the third. Infielder Brett Baty added a sacrifice fly before Knack finally finished the inning. The Tennessee native then notched one out in the fourth before walking two batters, and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had seen enough. Los Angeles followed up with a roster move on Friday, via Kirsten Watson.

Advertisement This season, Wrobleski has allowed eight runs across nine innings in the big leagues. The 24-year-old went 1-2 with a 5.70 ERA after getting his first call-up in 2024. The Dodgers took Knack in the second round of the 2020 MLB Draft. The East Tennessee alum got called up last season and went 3-5 with a 3.65 ERA over 15 appearances, including 12 starts. He also gave up six runs over seven postseason innings. New York was up 4-0 on Thursday before Los Angeles put up three runs in the bottom of the third. Alonso followed up with an RBI single in the eighth, but the Dodgers scored three more in the bottom of that frame, giving them a 6-5 lead. Closer Tanner Scott pitched a scoreless ninth to secure the save.
