Rays pitchers retired 15 of 16 Phillies until J.T. Realmuto singled with one out in the seventh off Uceta, and then the Phillies rallied. A fielder’s choice grounder and a single by Marsh led to the three-run homer by Stott.

For seven innings on Thursday, it seemed as if the Phillies’ red-hot offense ran out of steam. They had just two hits and trailed the Tampa Bay Rays 5-1, with the possibility of a sweep shrinking more and more with each groundout.
