Galvis out 4-3, Cesar to 3rd, but 2 outs.

[EastFallowfield]

[EastFallowfield]

Bottom 8th

Ziegler pitching for Miami.

[EastFallowfield]

Franco reaches out and lines a hit down the LF line, Ozuna holds him to a single. Leadoff runner.

[EastFallowfield]

Saunders rolls over one to 2nd, too slow for a DP, they get Franco at 2nd. 1 on, 1 out.

[EastFallowfield]

And they check the Franco slide at 2nd, ruled not a violation. Franco wasn't anywhere near the bag, didn't cause any harm. Thank goodness. Franco kinda slid very early, was out easy.

Altherr grounds into a DP, headed to the 9th, Phils clinging to one run lead.

[EastFallowfield]

Top 9th

Neris on to try to close it out.

Had 'em all the way, Harry!

Sole possession of 2nd place, Mets in the basement, baseball is fun.

Just got home for the bottom of the ninth - thanks for the PBP - it was great.

... and now out again for the evening. Run, run, run.

[DurhamBull]

Just got home to find out the Phils had an afternoon game.

Oh well, glad they won! Saunders was lucky to score on Stassi's triple. Based on the short video clip I saw of that play, Saunders doesn't look particularly fleet of foot.

Thanks for the PBP!
