The Phillies won for the third time in four games while the Cardinals dropped their second game in a row.
Marsh's long ball off Giovanny Gallegos in the ninth inning gave the visitors a 3-1 lead. Garrett Stubbs subsequently reached on an error and moved to third on Rojas' single, but Andre Pallante came on to retire Kyle Schwarber on a flyout.
The Cardinals tied the game 3-3 in the bottom of the inning, Herrera drew a one-out walk, Alec Burleson hit a double, Jordan Walker followed with a sacrifice fly, and Masyn Winn hit a game-tying single.
In the 10th inning, Bohm hit an RBI double and Stott doubled the advantage with a sacrifice fly.
Turnbull hit Victor Scott II with a pitch leading off the third inning. Scott stole second base and took third on a groundout, but Turnbull struck out Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Gorman to strand him.
The Phillies took a 2-0 lead in the fifth inning. Marsh hit a single and eventually scored on Rojas' single. Turner added a one-out RBI single before Mikolas coaxed two groundouts to limit the damage.
Ivan Herrera greeted Seranthony Dominguez with a homer in the seventh inning to cut Philadelphia's lead to 2-1.
