<p>PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Carlos Narváez hit a two-run homer in the 11th inning, Romy Gonzalez hit a grand slam in the fifth and the Boston Red Sox defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 9-8 on Wednesday night.</p>
<p>Narváez, who was called for a catcher's interference in each of the first two games of the series, hit a 97 mph fastball from Seth Johnson (1-1) into the front row of the left field seats.</p>
<p>Jesús Luzardo didn't allow a hit until a leadoff double to Masataka Yoshida to start the fifth.</p>
<p>Greg Weissert (3-3) earned the win, and Brennan Bernardino picked up his first save.</p>
<p>Philadelphia scored all of their runs prior to extra innings via the long ball.</p>
<p>Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper hit back-to-back homers in the first inning. Schwarber's homer was his 34th this season and fourth in six games since the All-Star break. Harper launched his homer into the second deck in right field. It was his 14th of the season and 350th of his career.</p>
<p>Nick Castellanos and Bryson Stott also hit solo homers for the Phillies to build Philadelphia's 5-0 lead. J.T. Realmuto added a solo shot in the eighth to force extra innings. Schwarber and Johan Rojas added RBI singles in extras.</p>
<p>Key moment</p>
<p>Boston's big inning almost didn't happen as Rob Refsnyder popped a ball straight up behind the plate with two outs. Realmuto never saw it and it fell harmlessly to the ground. All six runs scored after that misplay.</p>
<p>Key stat</p>
<p>Realmuto's homer off Aroldis Chapman in the bottom of the eighth was his first home run off a left-handed pitcher since Sept. 20.</p>
<p>Up next</p>
<p>The Red Sox will start RHP Brayan Bello (6-4, 3.23 ERA) against Dodgers RHP Emmet Sheehan (1-1, 4.41) Friday. RHP Taijuan Walker (3-5, 3.75) will start for Philadelphia on Friday against Yankees RHP Will Warren (6-5, 4.91).</p>
