Austin Hays' 2-run homer gives Orioles 10-9 win over Phils

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Austin Hays hit a two-run, inside-the-park homer in the 10th inning to lift the Baltimore Orioles to a 10-9 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night.

Bryce Harper hit a tying, two-run homer in the eighth and Jean Segura gave the Phillies a 6-5 lead with a solo shot two outs later. But closer Hector Neris couldn't hold it.

After Orioles closer Cole Sulser (1-1) allowed a two-run single to Didi Gregorius with two outs in the ninth to tie it at 8, Hays put Baltimore ahead to stay.

With a runner on second to start the extra inning, Hays ripped a sinking liner to center off Deolis Guerra (1-2). Roman Quinn dove headfirst and the ball skipped to the warning track. Quinn fell picking it up and Hays circled the bases.

Paul Fry allowed an RBI single to Jay Bruce in the 10th but retired Quinn on a bouncer to shortstop with runners on second and third for the second out. Travis Lakins Sr. entered and got Rhys Hoskins on a grounder to a shifted second baseman, earning his first career save.

The Orioles went ahead 8-6 in the ninth on a wacky play. After Renato Nunez lined an RBI single to to make it 6-6, Neris nearly escaped a bases-loaded jam when Pedro Severino lifted a 2-0 pitch with two outs toward the first-base side of the mound. Segura charged in from third base, called off first baseman Rhys Hoskins late and stumbled crossing over the mound as the ball dropped in and two runs scored.

Phillies starter Zack Wheeler cruised into the sixth before running into trouble. He allowed three runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Orioles starter Alex Cobb yielded three runs — two earned — and three hits in 5 1/3 innings.
