PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Javier Sanoja hit his first major league home run, had five RBIs and the Miami Marlins rallied to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-5 in 10 innings on Sunday.

Sanoja, who was starting in place of injured outfielder Griffin Conine, hit a 1-1 sweeper from Phillies reliever Orion Kerkering into the left field seats for a three-run homer to give the Marlins a 5-4 lead in the eighth inning.

The Marlins fell behind 3-0 in the first inning, but scrapped their way back. Sanoja hit a sacrifice fly in the second inning and scored a run on an error by Philadelphia second baseman Bryson Stott in the seventh inning. He added an RBI single in the 10th inning to complete his first three-hit game in his career.

Kyle Stowers drove in the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly in the 10th.

Calvin Faucher pitched a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his first win of the season. Jesus Tinoco tossed a 1-2-3 10th inning for his first save.

Bryce Harper had a two-run double while Nick Castellanos, Cal Stevenson and Rafael Marchan all had RBI singles for Philadelphia.

With the Phillies having two runners on in the ninth inning and one out, Faucher got Kyle Schwarber to pop out and Castellanos to fly out to force extra innings.

With three more on Sunday, the Phillies now lead the majors in first-inning runs scored this season with 20.

The Marlins will send RHP Max Meyer (1-2, 2.63) to the mound when they return home on Monday to open a series with Cincinnati. LHP Nick Lodolo (2-1, 2.31) is scheduled to start for the Reds.

Philadelphia begins a six-game road trip on Monday in New York against the Mets. RHP Aaron Nola (0-4, 6.65) will start for the Phillies against RHP Tylor Megill (2-2, 1.40) for New York.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa and center fielder Byron Buxton were both placed in the concussion protocol following a collision during Thursday's game against Baltimore.

Baltimore's Cedric Mullins hit a fly ball to shallow center field leading off the bottom of the third. Correa retreated to the outfield grass in pursuit while Buxton raced in. Buxton appeared to call off Correa at the last minute, but it was too late. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Buxton slammed into the 6-3, 220-pound Correa.

Correa exited the game immediately and was replaced by Jonah Bride. Buxton stayed in for the remainder of the third inning but did not return for the fourth and was replaced by Ty France.

The 30-year-old Correa has missed just three games this season — all scheduled rest days — after being limited to 86 games last season because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

The Twins entered the day on a 10-game winning streak that brought them back into the mix in the competitive AL Central.
