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:

Phillies Make Brandon Marsh Announcement Before Cubs Game
Phillies Make Brandon Marsh Announcement Before Cubs Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. If the Philadelphia Phillies believe outfielder Brandon Marsh can break out of a season-long hitting slump, they certainly don't think it will happen on Monday night. Advertisement The Phillies, unsurprisingly, did not start Marsh against Chicago Cubs left-hander Matthew Boyd. Instead, utilityman Weston Wilson is starting in left, with Johan Rojas continuing to man center field. The move isn't especially surprising, given that Marsh typically gets most of his plate appearances against right-handers. Marsh entered Monday with only four hits, one being a home run, in 22 at-bats against lefties. However, Rob Thomson's decision to keep Marsh on the bench is nonetheless noteworthy. Managers often resort to unconventional lineup moves to get a player going, though it's clear that starting Marsh in a lefty-on-lefty matchup wasn't one the Phillies wanted to test. Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Brandon MarshNathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images The same applies to snapping losing streaks, such as the Phillies' current seven-game skid. Thomson may have more faith in Wilson, who is 5-for-33 in 18 games, to help the Phillies get back on track. Advertisement Marsh entered Monday hitting .216 with two homers, 12 RBI, and a disappointing .638 OPS in 131 plate appearances. It's unclear what his future holds, though Phillies beat writer Matt Gelb suggested the team consider demoting Marsh to Triple-A and allow him to "reset." As of publication, Marsh remained on the Phillies' 26-man roster. Philadelphia has lost 10 of its last 13 games and sits 4 1/2 games back of the New York Mets in the NL East.
