While managing the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> 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<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n

Three games into his run as the Phillies\u2019 interim manager, there\u2019s optimism that the former Dodgers and Miami Marlins<\/a> skipper can get a team with the largest payroll in franchise history back on track toward the postseason after Rob Thomson\u2019s firing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In Game 1 of a split doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants<\/a> on Thursday, the Phillies emerged victorious in walk-off fashion. Then they did the same thing in Game 2.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia became the first team in 22 years to win both games of a doubleheader via walkoff<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 3-2 comeback win<\/a> in the opener was clinched with an infield single from rookie outfielder Justin Crawford, who, according to MLB.com\u2019s Sarah Langs<\/a>, joined Baseball Hall of Famer Scott Rolen as the second Phillies player in the last 50 years with multiple walk-off RBI at 22 years old or younger.<\/p>\n

The Phillies (11-19) entered the ninth inning trailing the Giants (13-17) by one run. Facing a 2-1 deficit, Adolis Garc\u00eda<\/a> reached first on an infield single of his own. He scored on a game-tying Bryson Stott<\/a> triple down the right-field line.<\/p>\n

Soon after, with Stott still on third and two outs, Crawford went the opposite way, sending a ground ball to shortstop. Crawford, a 2022 first-round pick of the Phillies, raced to first and beat the throw, plating Stott in the process.<\/p>\n

The Phillies\u2019 lone run before that came in the bottom of the first inning, after the Giants staked themselves to a 2-0 lead in the top half of the frame.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia designated hitter Kyle Schwarber<\/a> lifted a 91-mph cutter from San Francisco<\/a> starter Logan Webb<\/a> 406 feet into the second deck of the right-field seats.<\/p>\n

With that swing, Schwarber became the ninth active MLB player to hit 350 home runs<\/a>. It was his 10th big fly of the season and 197th dinger with the Phillies, whom he started playing with during the 2022 campaign.<\/p>\n

The Phillies, who also took the series opener 7-0 on Tuesday<\/a>, made up Wednesday\u2019s rained-out game in Game 2 of Thursday\u2019s doubleheader. They won that 6-5<\/a> after Schwarber tied the game with a two-out double in the bottom of the ninth inning and Alec Bohm<\/a> drove in the decisive run with a sacrifice fly in the 10th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While managing the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2013, Don Mattingly oversaw a midseason turnaround that called for a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":687375,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[3418,1651,5,1715,9925,1550,5159,81,112,57,58,4,505,1086,25,378,66],"class_list":["post-687374","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-adolis-garcia","tag-alec-bohm","tag-baseball","tag-bryson-stott","tag-don-mattingly","tag-doubleheader","tag-justin-crawford","tag-kyle-schwarber","tag-logan-webb","tag-los-angeles-dodgers","tag-miami-marlins","tag-mlb","tag-national-league","tag-ninth-inning","tag-philadelphia-phillies","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-giants"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116498261871691794","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=687374"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687374\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/687375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=687374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=687374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=687374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
