De La Cruz hits go-ahead single, Phillies overcome five-run deficit to beat Minnesota 7-5
Alec Bohm hit a three-run home run as Philadelphia won for the fifth time in seven games.
Brooks Lee hit a grand slam, and Kody Clemens also homered for Minnesota, which fell to 4-10 in August.
Down 5-0, Bohm hit a three-run home run as part of a four-run sixth inning.
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.
Andrew Morris (4-4) allowed all three eighth-inning runs. He’d allowed two earned runs in 28 1/3 innings over his previous 27 appearances since June 12.
Orion Kerkering (7-1) tossed a 1-2-3 seventh inning for the win. Jhoan Duran earned his 26th save with a scoreless ninth.
Philadelphia won the first two games of this series 7-1 and 9-1, but Andrew Painter’s control issues quickly put the Phillies in a hole.
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.
Clemens homered in the third to make it 5-0.
Phillies shortstop Trea Turner was available but did not play. He left Saturday’s game after fouling a ball off his right knee.
Twins: RHP Bailey Ober (7-4, 4.64) starts Monday to kickoff a series against Braves LHP Martín Pérez (8-6, 2.96).
