Kyle Schwarber becomes ninth active MLB player to hit 350 home runs, then Phillies walk off Giants to start doubleheader

While managing the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2013, Don Mattingly oversaw a midseason turnaround that called for a greater escape than the one his Philadelphia Phillies need to make it out of the National League cellar this season.

Two games into his run as the Phillies’ interim manager, there’s optimism the former Dodgers and Miami Marlins skipper can get a team with the largest payroll in franchise history back on track toward the postseason after Rob Thomson’s firing.

Philadelphia has won back-to-back games for the first time since the first week of April. In Game 1 of a split doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday, the Phillies emerged victorious in walk-off fashion.

The 3-2 comeback win was clinched with an infield single from rookie outfielder Justin Crawford, who, according to MLB.com’s Sarah Langs, joined Baseball Hall of Famer Scott Rolen as the second Phillies player with multiple walk-off RBI at 22 years old or younger in the last 50 years.

The Phillies (11-19) entered the ninth inning trailing the Giants (13-17) by one run. Facing a 2-1 deficit, Adolis García reached first on an infield single of his own. He scored on a game-tying Bryson Stott triple down the right-field line.
