Edmundo Sosa homered, tripled and drove in two runs and Alec Bohm had three hits, including a solo homer, as the host Philadelphia Phillies defeated the San Francisco Giants 10-4 on Monday.
Philadelphia's Kyle Schwarber added a two-run home run and Bryce Harper hit an inside-the-park homer and an RBI single.
Johan Rojas contributed a two-run triple, Bryson Stott had an RBI double and Trea Turner and J.T. Realmuto each had two of the Phillies' 16 hits.
Philadelphia starter Aaron Nola (11-8) tossed seven innings and allowed seven hits and two runs with five strikeouts and one walk.
Joc Pederson led the Giants with a home run and single and LaMonte Wade Jr. added a homer. Wilmer Flores and Blake Sabol had two hits apiece.
Scott Alexander started for the Giants in a bullpen game and recorded only two outs while giving up a run on three hits. He was replaced by Sean Manaea (4-4), who yielded three runs on three hits in 2 2/3 innings.
San Francisco's defense struggled, committing three errors.
The Giants went ahead 1-0 in the first when Pederson laced a solo home run to right. It was the 28th homer allowed by Nola this season, the most in his career.
Harper tied the game at 1 with an RBI single to left center in the bottom of the first.
In the second, Stott walked after a 13-pitch at-bat and Sosa followed with a two-run homer to center for a 3-1 advantage.
Wade responded with a solo shot to center in the third to close the Giants within 3-2.
The Phillies took a 4-2 lead in the third when Bohm blasted a solo homer to center.
Harper circled the bases with two outs in the fifth for a 5-2 advantage. The ball caromed off the center field wall and allowed Harper to log his second career inside-the-park homer. Stott added an RBI double in the inning for a 6-2 lead.
In the seventh, Rojas hit a two-run triple to left. Initially, it looked as if Sabol was in position to make the catch, but the ball sailed over his head. Schwarber then crushed a two-run homer for a 10-2 lead.
The Giants scored twice in the ninth off Dylan Covey before Jeff Hoffman got the last three outs.
