MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Bryan De La Cruz hit a two-run single in the eighth inning and the Philadelphia Philles overcame a five-run deficit to beat the Minnesota Twins 7-5 on Sunday and sweep the three-game series.<\/p>\n
Alec Bohm hit a three-run home run as Philadelphia won for the fifth time in seven games.<\/p>\n
Brooks Lee hit a grand slam, and Kody Clemens also homered for Minnesota, which fell to 4-10 in August.<\/p>\n
Down 5-0, Bohm hit a three-run home run as part of a four-run sixth inning.<\/p>\n
A bloop RBI single by Bohm made it 5-all in the eighth before a roller by De La Cruz snuck between first baseman Royce Lewis and the bag to plate two more runs.<\/p>\n
Andrew Morris (4-4) allowed all three eighth-inning runs. He\u2019d allowed two earned runs in 28 1\/3 innings over his previous 27 appearances since June 12.<\/p>\n
Orion Kerkering (7-1) tossed a 1-2-3 seventh inning for the win. Jhoan Duran earned his 26th save with a scoreless ninth.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia won the first two games of this series 7-1 and 9-1, but Andrew Painter\u2019s control issues quickly put the Phillies in a hole.<\/p>\n
With two outs and nobody on in the first, Painter allowed two singles and walked a batter. Lee followed with a grand slam to right field, one pitch after he pulled a would-be grand slam just foul.<\/p>\n
Clemens homered in the third to make it 5-0.<\/p>\n
Phillies shortstop Trea Turner was available but did not play. He left Saturday\u2019s game after fouling a ball off his right knee.<\/p>\n
Phillies: Cristopher S\u00e1nchez (15-4, 2.54 ERA) starts Monday at home against Miami RHP Janson Junk (6-7, 4.41).<\/p>\n
Twins: RHP Bailey Ober (7-4, 4.64) starts Monday to kickoff a series against Braves LHP Mart\u00edn P\u00e9rez (8-6, 2.96).<\/p>\n
