Apr 30, 2026; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Phillies infielder Alec Bohm (28) hits a sacrifice fly against the San Francisco Giants in the tenth inning at Citizens Bank Park. Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images Alec Bohm’s sacrifice fly plated automatic runner Adolis Garcia in the 10th inning Thursday night, giving the Philadelphia Phillies a 6-5 victory over the visiting San Francisco Giants and their second walk-off win of a day-night doubleheader that ended about nine hours after it started.
The Phillies scored twice in the ninth inning to pull out a 3-2 win in the opener.
The doubleheader was necessitated by a rainout Wednesday night. The clubs also sat out a brief storm that prompted a 24-minute delay in the top of the sixth of the Thursday nightcap.
After the Giants stranded runners at first and third in the top of the 10th inning, the Phillies went the fundamental route to give new manager Don Mattingly his third straight win. Bryson Stott sacrificed Garcia to third, setting up Bohm’s fly to medium-deep center field.
Chase Shugart (2-0), who escaped the jam in the top of the 10th, was credited with the win — his second of the day. He is the first major league pitcher to win both games of a doubleheader since 2013 and the first Philadelphia pitcher to do so since Terry Adams in 2002.
Matt Gage (2-1), who entered the game to start the last of the 10th, took the loss.
Each team scored a two-out run in the ninth to send the game into extra innings. Jung Hoo Lee’s RBI single gave the Giants a 5-4 lead in the top of the inning before the Phillies got even on a Kyle Schwarber run-scoring double.
Down to his final strike, Schwarber capped a 4-for-4 game with the clutch hit. In the doubleheader, he went 5-for-6, drove in three runs, scored three times and collected two home runs, two doubles and three walks.
After blowing a lead in the opener, the Giants rallied from behind in the second game, twice erasing two-run deficits. A two-out, two-run single by Luis Arraez in the sixth created the 4-4 tie that stood until the ninth.
Philadelphia’s first two-run lead was the product of back-to-back solo home runs by Trea Turner, his fourth, and Schwarber, his 11th, to begin the bottom of the first. Turner connected on Adrian Houser’s first pitch, Schwarber on his fifth.
Houser was pulled after 5 2/3 innings, charged with three runs on four hits. He struck out two and walked two.
The Phillies used Tim Mayza as an opener. He threw two shutout innings, allowing two hits and one walk. He struck out two.
Turner, who had two hits, and Schwarber scored twice apiece, while Garcia had a two-RBI single.
Drew Gilbert piled up three hits while Lee, Arraez and Casey Schmitt had two apiece for the Giants, who were swept in the three-game series despite out-hitting the hosts 13-9 in the finale.

Carlos Alcaraz swapped his racket for a spectator’s seat at the Madrid Open on Thursday, watching his 14-year-old brother Jaime earn a straight-sets win that showcased the family’s talent.
Sidelined by a wrist injury that has ruled him out of Madrid, Rome and the French Open, the 22-year-old world number two followed closely as Jaime claimed a 6-3, 6-3 win over seeded opponent Pol Mas in the under-16 event.
The teenager, playing on a wildcard, produced moments that drew murmurs of recognition from courtside observers.
A delicate drop shot by Jaime, a signature element of his brother’s game, brought a smile to proud Carlos, who sat with a brace on his right wrist.

Apr 30, 2026; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Phillies infielder Alec Bohm (28) celebrates with outfielder Brandon Marsh (16) and outfielder Justin Crawford (2) after the game against the San Francisco Giants at Citizens Bank Park. Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images Bryson Stott delivered a game-tying triple in the ninth inning and scored on Justin Crawford’s infield single as the Philadelphia Phillies rallied to nip the visiting San Francisco Giants 3-2 in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.
Kyle Schwarber hit his 350th career home run while Phillies starter Cristopher Sanchez allowed two runs and struck out seven in 6 2/3 innings.
With Philadelphia trailing 2-1 in the ninth, Adolis Garcia led off with a single and scored easily on Stott’s one-out hit into the right field corner. After Edmundo Sosa was retired, Crawford followed with a grounder to the left side and beat out shortstop Willy Adames’ one-hop throw to first.
Giants starter Logan Webb allowed one run and struck out six in seven innings. He was in line for the victory before Ryan Walker (0-1) blew the save in the ninth.
Phillies 6, Giants 5 (10 innings, Game 2)
Alec Bohm’s 10th-inning sacrifice fly drove in the winning run, giving Philadelphia its second walk-off win in the doubleheader.

Adley Rutschman and Jeremiah Jackson slugged grand slams Baltimore’s victory against visiting Houston in the first game of a doubleheader.
Orioles starter Chris Bassitt pitched 6 2/3 strong innings and Jackson drove in five runs.
Rutschman’s blast came in the fifth to break open the game. Jackson’s slam came in the seventh. It’s the first time the Orioles have smacked multiple grand slams in the same game since Sept. 11, 2015, when they hit two in one inning of a 14-8 home win over the Kansas City Royals.

Right fielder James Wood robbed Juan Soto of a home run as the Nationals won for the fourth time in five games.
The Mets’ MJ Melendez hit a tying three-run homer and Mark Vientos had an RBI double to make it 4-3 in the sixth, but New York still lost for the 17th time in 20 games.

Nick Kurtz highlighted a four-run second inning with a two-RBI double, four relievers combined for six strong innings and the Athletics finished off a series win over visiting Kansas City in Sacramento, Calif.
Jacob Wilson and Shea Langeliers combined for five hits and four runs atop the lineup, helping the A’s capture their third consecutive 2-1 series win.
A’s starter Jeffrey Springs threw a scoreless third inning before handing the ball off to the bullpen, which allowed just one run and five hits the rest of the way. Luis Medina (1-1), who threw 2 2/3 innings of shutout ball, was credited with the win.
Royals starter Noah Cameron (2-2) took the loss, charged with five runs (four earned) on nine hits in 5 1/3 innings.

A psychologist charged in the trial over Diego Maradona’s death told an Argentine court on Thursday that the soccer great had bipolar disorder and was a narcissist, and required a zero-alcohol treatment plan, Argentine media reported.
Carlos Diaz, 34, is facing the charge of manslaughter with reckless intent for prescribing the wrong medication. He is one of seven defendants accused of criminal responsibility in the death of the former Argentine captain and national coach.
“There was bipolar disorder and narcissism,” newspaper El Clarin cited Diaz as saying at the trial in Buenos Aires. “He could bring a country to its knees, but one glass of alcohol could bring him to his knees.”
Diaz said he met Maradona on October 26, 2020, 29 days before the former footballer died, and that Maradona was drinking wine on a couch at the time, La Nacion Argentina reported.
“The first image shocked me because he was just like my father, an alcoholic, who had died a few months earlier,” the newspaper cited Diaz as saying.
Diaz told the court he believed Maradona wanted to change his lifestyle and tailored the star’s treatment based on abstinence from alcohol, El Clarin reported. He also said the toxicology report showed Maradona’s life ended after 23 days without drug use.
The attacking player won trophies with teams including Boca Juniors, Barcelona and Napoli, and captained Argentina to the World Cup title in 1986. He died on November 25, 2020, aged 60, after surgery for a subdural hematoma.
The trial is examining whether members of his medical and care team bear criminal responsibility for his death.
Neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, another defendant, also testified on Thursday, saying Maradona’s home hospitalisation was appropriate and was not intended to function as an intensive-care unit, El Clarin reported.

Apr 30, 2026; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Minnesota Timberwolves guard Bones Hyland (8) dribbles the ball past Denver Nuggets guard Bruce Brown (11) in the first half during game six of the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs at Target Center. Mandatory Credit: Jesse Johnson-Imagn Images Elevated into the starting lineup of a heavily depleted backcourt, Terrence Shannon Jr. scored a career-playoff-high 24 points to help the Minnesota Timberwolves close out the Denver Nuggets 110-98 in Game 6 of a first-round playoff series on Thursday in Minneapolis.
The sixth-seeded Timberwolves advance to face the second-seeded Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals, with Game 1 scheduled for Monday in San Antonio.
Minnesota was already down All-NBA guard Anthony Edwards (knee) and his starting perimeter counterpart, Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles), when Ayo Dosunmu was announced as a scratch shortly before tipoff of Game 6. Dosunmu, a hero in Game 4 with 43 points, was held out on Thursday due to a calf injury.
Veteran Kyle Anderson was also crossed off the Minnesota lineup on Thursday because of an illness, contributing to a rash of absences that necessitated Shannon — who did not play in the first three games of the series — entering the starting lineup.
He stepped up, capping his 9-of-20 performance shooting from the field with a crucial three-point play that ignited a game-ending 8-1 run for the Timberwolves.
With Minnesota nursing a 100-97 lead, Shannon penetrated into the lane and scored against contact from Jamal Murray with a scooping layup. He made the subsequent free throw with 1:43 to go.
After Cameron Johnson split a pair of free throws on the other end, Minnesota’s Jaden McDaniels — who scored a game-high 32 points — connected on a pull-up mid-range jumper.
McDaniels’ shot served as a backbreaker for third-seeded Denver, with the crowd erupting as the Timberwolves opened up an eight-point lead with 1:07 left. The bucket put an exclamation mark on a dominant final five minutes in which the Timberwolves did not allow the Nuggets a made field goal.
Denver trailed much of the way and never led in the second half but remained within a single-digit-point margin until the final minute. Nikola Jokic helped keep the Nuggets within striking distance, finishing with team highs in points (28), assists (10) and rebounds (nine).
Johnson added 27 points and shot 5-of-10 from 3-point range, but the Nuggets struggled to find consistent offense elsewhere. Murray was limited to 12 points on 4-of-17 shooting from the floor.
The same aggressive Minnesota defense that kept Murray in check frustrated Jokic in the second half, boiling over when he got into a shoving match with Timberwolves reserve guard Jaylen Clark early in the fourth quarter. Naz Reid pushed Jokic from behind, resulting in all three players receiving technical fouls.
Jokic remained in the lineup despite a chorus of “kick him out” chants from the home crowd.

After Cameron Johnson split a pair of free throws on the other end, Minnesota’s Jaden McDaniels — who scored a game-high 32 points — connected on a pull-up mid-range jumper.
McDaniels’ shot served as a backbreaker for third-seeded Denver, with the crowd erupting as the Timberwolves opened up an eight-point lead with 1:07 left. The bucket put an exclamation mark on a dominant final five minutes in which the Timberwolves did not allow the Nuggets a made field goal.
Denver trailed much of the way and never led in the second half but remained within a single-digit-point margin until the final minute. Nikola Jokic helped keep the Nuggets within striking distance, finishing with team highs in points (28), assists (10) and rebounds (nine).
Johnson added 27 points and shot 5-of-10 from 3-point range, but the Nuggets struggled to find consistent offense elsewhere. Murray was limited to 12 points on 4-of-17 shooting from the floor.
The same aggressive Minnesota defense that kept Murray in check frustrated Jokic in the second half, boiling over when he got into a shoving match with Timberwolves reserve guard Jaylen Clark early in the fourth quarter. Naz Reid pushed Jokic from behind, resulting in all three players receiving technical fouls.
Jokic remained in the lineup despite a chorus of “kick him out” chants from the home crowd.
