BOSTON (AP) — Bryce Harper hit a three-run homer during a seven-run sixth inning and the Philadelphia Phillies came from behind to crush Boston 13-6 on Tuesday night and send the Red Sox to their ninth consecutive loss.
Rhys Hoskins, Phil Gosselin and Jay Bruce also homered for the Phillies, who fell behind 3-0 and still trailed 4-2 before sending nine batters to the plate with two outs in the sixth — getting seven hits and a walk before Colten Brewer, Boston’s third pitcher in the inning, struck out Jay Bruce to end it.
Blake Parker (1-0) pitched two innings of scoreless relief for Philadelphia, giving up one hit and one walk while striking out three.
