With Philadelphia trailing 5-1, Bryson Stott belted a three-run homer in the eighth inning and pinch-runner Johan Rojas scored on Max Kepler's groundout in the ninth to forge a tie.
Marsh sent a liner to the left-center field gap off Manuel Rodriguez (0-1) to plate automatic runner Edmundo Sosa in the 10th inning. Marsh advanced to third on a sacrifice by Stott and scored on Trea Turner's single to center field. Rodriguez permitted two runs (one earned) on two hits in the 10th.
The late uprising made a winner out of Jose Alvarado (4-1), who allowed one hit and struck out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning.
Matt Strahm worked around Danny Jansen's RBI single with two outs in the 10th to secure his second save of the season and hand the red-hot Phillies their ninth win in the last 11 games.

Taylor Walls scored twice and joined Jonathan Aranda with three hits for the Rays, who have lost seven of their last nine overall and seven in a row at home.

Philadelphia got off to a fast start as Stott ripped a double off Ryan Pepiot to lead off the game, advanced to third on a flyout and scored on Bryce Harper's fly ball to center field.
The advantage didn't last long as Caminero deposited a 2-1 fastball from Jesus Luzardo over the wall in right field. Caminero's homer was his team-leading seventh.
