PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Sean O'Sullivan won a big league game for the first time in more than four years, staying in after he was hit on the throat by a throw from his own catcher, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-0 Sunday for their first five-game winning streak since last summer.
O'Sullivan (1-2) allowed five hits in six innings, struck out four and walked two. He turned to talk to his fielders in the sixth with two on and a full count, then as he pivoted to face the plate was struck on the throat with a throw by Cameron Rupp.
