Phillies blast Rockies to continue road success

Trea Turner and Bryce Harper homered on consecutive pitches in the third, J.T. Realmuto also went deep, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Colorado Rockies 9-5 in Denver on Wednesday night.

Realmuto added a double and a single for three-hit night and Turner, Harper and Nick Castellanos finished with two hits each for Philadelphia.

Taijuan Walker (2-3) allowed three runs on six hits in five innings for the Phillies, who have won 10 of their last 11 road games. They finished with 12 hits and have banged out 46 in the first three games of the series.

Nick Martini homered and doubled and Jordan Beck, Ezequiel Tovar and Hunter Goodman had two hits each for Colorado.

Philadelphia jumped out to a quick lead against Carson Palmquist. Turner and Harper led off the game with singles, both stole a base and Turner scored on catcher Goodman’s throwing error.

Harper, who went to third on the error, scored on Castellanos’ sacrifice fly.

The Rockies got a run in the bottom of the first when Beck, who led off with a single, scored on Goodman’s hit, and they tied it in the second.

Kyle Farmer hit a leadoff double and scored on Adael Amador’s single to make it 2-2 in the second, but the Phillies broke it open in the third.

Turner led off with his third home run and Harper went deep on the next pitch, his eighth of the season. Kyle Schwarber walked, Castellanos singled, Schwarber scored on Realmuto’s double to right and Castellanos trotted home when right fielder Mickey Moniak misplayed the ball.

Martini’s first home run of the season in the fourth made it 6-3, but Alec Bohm’s RBI single in the fifth restored the four-run lead.

Palmquist (0-2) walked the bases loaded before departing. He allowed seven runs — six earned — on 10 hits in 4 1/3 innings.

Schwarber drew a walk in the sixth and Realmuto hit a two-out, two-run homer to left to extend the lead. It was Realmuto’s fifth homer of the season.

Tovar and Goodman had RBI singles in the ninth.
