The Phillies smashed three home runs and right-hander Taijuan Walker overcame a shaky start to notch his MLB-best 13th victory as Philadelphia rallied to beat the visiting Kansas City Royals 8-4 on Sunday.
Walker threw 95 pitches over seven innings, giving up seven hits and a walk. He struck out just two, but recorded 12 fly-ball outs.
But the Phillies roared right back in the bottom of the first against Kansas City's 39-year-old Zack Greinke. Bryson Stott followed Alec Bohm's single and Bryce Harper's double by clubbing a line-drive homer to tie the game at 3-3. The lead was short-lived as Kyle Schwarber, who was 3-for-4 with two RBIs, connected for a two-run homer -- his 28th of the season -- to straightaway center.
Castellanos drilled his 17th homer of the season, a two-run, 429-foot shot off reliever Jonathan Heasley, that lifted the Phillies to a 7-4 lead in the fifth.
