Bryce Harper broke an eighth-inning tie with a two-run double, Kyle Schwarber hit a two-run homer and the Philadelphia Phillies rallied to beat the Colorado Rockies 6-3 for their fourth straight win.
Alec Bohm added a solo shot and the Phillies reached .500 despite catcher J.T. Realmuto exiting in the seventh with a sprained right pinkie.
Rockies starter Austin Gomber used a dominant knuckle-curve to retire his first 14 batters and faced the minimum 19 until Bohm's 433-foot solo shot to left field. Three batters later, Schwarber hit a towering 430-foot fly to center to put Philadelphia ahead 3-1. With two outs in the eighth, Harper drilled a 2-0 sweeper off the right-field wall against Justin Lawrence to put the Phillies ahead to stay.
