The AL West-leading A&#8217;s have lost four of five.<\/p>\n<p>Trailing 3-2, the Phillies scored four runs in the eighth off Jack Perkins (2-1). Perkins walked Kyle Schwarber to open the frame before second baseman Jeff McNeil&#8217;s throwing error on Bryce Harper&#8217;s grounder and a single by Garc\u00eda loaded the bases. Sosa&#8217;s two-run single put Philadelphia in front 4-3. Marsh added an RBI single and Justin Crawford added an RBI groundout.<\/p>\n<p>Kurtz, who grew up a Phillies from nearby Lancaster, Pennsylvania, gave the Athletics a 2-0 lead with a two-out RBI single in the fifth off Phillies starter Zack Wheeler.<\/p>\n<p>Wheeler, making his third start of the season and first in Philadelphia since last August following thoracic outlet decompression surgery, allowed three runs on five hits in 6 1\/3 innings. He struck out four and walked one.<\/p>\n<p>Athletics starter Jeffrey Springs gave up two runs on eight hits in 5 1\/3 innings. He struck out four and walked none. The 75-pitch outing was a good sign for Springs, who left his last start after just 67 pitches due to right hip soreness.<\/p>\n<p>Athletics RHP J.T. Ginn (0-1, 4.30 ERA) opposes Philadelphia RHP Andrew Painter (1-3, 5.28) in the finale of the three-game series on Thursday night. <\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Edmundo Sosa hit a go-ahead two-run single in the eighth inning, Adolis Garc\u00eda homered, and the Philadelphia Phillies&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":654889,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[82340,5654,64,63,17856,5152,5882,591,2365,85,50577],"class_list":["post-654888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-andrew-painter","tag-athletics","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bryce-harper","tag-kyle-schwarber","tag-major-league-baseball","tag-mlb","tag-philadelphia-phillies","tag-sports","tag-zack-wheeler"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=654888"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/654888\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/654889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=654888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=654888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=654888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
