J.T. Realmuto doubled in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, Cesar Hernandez hit a two-run homer and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-4 Monday night. Lorenzo Cain had a career-high five hits and Mike Moustakas homered for Milwaukee.Bryce Harper struck out three times and was hitless in four at-bats but made a diving catch on Moustakas’ liner to right field with two outs, the bases loaded and scored tied in the seventh.
The NL East-leading Phillies then rallied in the bottom half. Jean Segura struck out swinging but reached on a wild pitch by Matt Albers (2-2). Alex Claudio entered and retired Harper on a fly to center. Junior Guerra replaced him and struck out Rhys Hoskins. But Realmuto ripped a double to left-center to score Segura for a 5-4 lead. After Hernandez walked, Odubel Herrera extended the lead to 7-4 with a two-run double.
Neither starter was effective on a cold night following a 52-minute rain delay at the start.
Phillies ace Aaron Nola lasted only three innings, giving up three runs and five hits. He had given up just three runs combined in his previous three starts. Adam Morgan (2-1) got four outs for the win and Pat Neshek finished for his second save.
Brewers starter Freddy Peralta allowed two runs – one earned – and seven hits in four innings, striking out five.
Moustakas blasted a solo homer into the second deck in right field to give the Brewers a 3-2 lead in the third.
Cain’s RBI double off Austin Davis increased the lead to 4-2 in the fourth. But Davis then pitched out of bases-loaded jam with no outs. Yasmani Grandal grounded into a third-to-home double play and Eric Thames struck out looking. Christian Yelich’s double and Grandal’s triple each knocked in runs in the first.
Nola helped himself at the plate in the second. With runners on second and third and one out, he worked a full count and then hit a grounder to shortstop. Thames dropped the throw to first for an error, allowing both runners to score and tie the game at 2.
Brewers: OF Ryan Braun wasn’t in the lineup for a third straight game because of a sore left hamstring but had a pinch-hit single.
Tonight, Brandon Woodruff (5-1, 4.25 ERA) goes for the Brewers against Jerad Eickhoff (2-1, 1.50) for the Phillies. First pitch is at 6:05 and the game can be heard on AM1100/98.3FM, WISS.
There was just one other game in the N.L. Central on Monday as Arizona beat Pittsburgh 9-3.
