Brandon Marsh ripped an RBI double and scored in the 10th inning, helping the visiting Philadelphia Phillies record a 7-6 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday to complete a three-game sweep.

With Philadelphia trailing 5-1, Bryson Stott belted a three-run homer in the eighth inning and pinch runner Johan Rojas scored on Max Kepler's groundout in the ninth to forge a tie.

Marsh sent a liner to the left-center-field gap off Manuel Rodriguez (0-1) to plate automatic runner Edmundo Sosa in the 10th inning. Marsh advanced to third on a sacrifice by Stott and scored on Trea Turner's single to center field. Rodriguez permitted two runs (one earned) on two hits in the 10th.

The late uprising made a winner out of Jose Alvarado (4-1), who allowed one hit and struck out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning.

Matt Strahm worked around Danny Jansen's RBI single with two outs in the 10th to secure his second save of the season and seal the Phillies' ninth win in the past 11 games.

Tampa Bay's Yandy Diaz launched a three-run homer and Junior Caminero also went deep while finishing with two RBIs.

Taylor Walls scored twice and joined Jonathan Aranda with three hits apiece for the Rays, who have lost seven of their last nine overall and seven in a row at home.

Tampa Bay was nursing a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning before Jose Caballero and Walls reached base on infield singles. Diaz deposited a 1-1 changeup from Tanner Banks over the wall in right-center for his sixth homer of the season and second in three games.

Philadelphia got off to a fast start as Stott ripped a double off Ryan Pepiot to lead off the game, advanced to third on a flyout and scored on Bryce Harper's fly ball to center field.

The advantage didn't last long as Caminero deposited a 2-1 fastball from Jesus Luzardo over the wall in right field. Caminero's homer was his team-leading seventh.

Walls singled to lead off the third and stole second base. He advanced to third on a flyout and scored on Caminero's fly ball to left field.
