PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Chris Sale struck out 10 Phillies in six innings and the Boston Red Sox beat Philadelphia 5-3 on Friday for their seven-game winning streak.
The game was interrupted about 10 minutes into the first inning when a spectator fell over the guardrail into the Red Sox bullpen in an attempt to reach for a ball.
Boston rookie Masataka Yoshida extended his hitting streak to 15 games. Puerto Rican Kiké Hernández and Dominican Enmanuel Valdez had two hits and drove in a run per head.
Phillies slugger Bryce Harper received a 25-second standing ovation from the fans leading up to his first at-bat. It was his first game in Philadelphia since he underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow at halftime.
The star went 1 for 4 with a single and a run scored.
The defending NL champion Phillies have lost five in a row to drop three games under .500. Nick Castellanos had two hits, including a double and an RBI for the Phillies.
Sale, 34, (3-2) allowed three runs and seven hits. A seven-time All-Star, he’s getting into shape after struggling with injuries the past two seasons.
Boston took a 5-3 lead with two runs in the sixth against Zack Wheeler (3-2).
For the Red Sox, the Dominicans Emmanuel Valdez 3-2 with an RBI, Rafael Devers 3-1 with an RBI and Raimel Tapia 5-1 with two runs scored. Puerto Rican Enrique Hernández 4-2 with a run scored and an RBI.
