at-bats in the seventh inning to help Philadelphia win 3-2 on Saturday.

Carlos Santana scored on the play. Kingery followed up with a single up the middle and then scored when Alfaro hit a double to right-center to give the
Phillies all they’d need to clinch their third straight series win and improve
to an MLB-best 19-7 in one-run games.
”Another win in a one-run game,” manager Gabe Kapler said. ”I think that’s something to really be proud of and something we continue to focus on.”
Jake Arrieta (6-6) worked around six hits with the help of eight strikeouts to hold the Pirates to two runs over seven innings. It was Arrieta’s first win
in eight starts, though it didn’t look that way at first.

often. Sometimes that doesn’t happen.”
Pirates starter Jameson Taillon (5-7) was charged with all three runs. He struck out eight and walked none in his 77 pitches over 6 2/3 innings. He had
allowed just two singles and hadn’t allowed a runner to even get into scoring
position coming into the seventh inning. Reliever Edgar Santana allowed the
go-ahead run to score with Alfaro’s double. The three runs were scored on three
straight pitches.
”I was really excited and looking forward to being the guy to put an end to our tough streak here,” Taillon said. ”I’m at 68 pitches without a guy touching
second base and someone’s warming up? That’s tough.
