Phillies come from behind, beat Rays in 10 innings to secure sweep

Johan Rojas flipped off his helmet halfway between first and second base, signaling he wasn’t going to slow down and round second to head to third. The pinch-runner beat the eventual throw to third base, sliding in safely, putting the tying run 90 feet away with no outs.

Rojas was pinch-running for Kyle Schwarber, who looped a leadoff single into right field in the top of the ninth inning on Thursday night with the Phillies down 5-4. Rojas dashed his way from first to third after a pickoff attempt from Rays closer Pete Fairbanks got by first baseman Junior Caminero.
