Had 'em all the way, Harry!
never say never!
Phew!
They complete the 2nd series sweep of the season
Phillies get the sweep.
Stott's 3 run homer brought them back to down by one and they just never gave up. Very positive night for Phillies' phans.
Really nice to come back and to finally take another series. I was watching on delay at 2-1 but I saw a Blue sky post about Rojas that made me realize it was still going good/close.
Was practically a home field advantage for them too.
They say Phils were 11-27 with RISP in the series.
The Phillies are good.
Ok, so I went to sleep a little too early. Stott and Marsh come through, nice to read at 3am
You and me both. Glad for the win, but I'm sure if I had stayed up till the end, I'd have a severe case of heart burn and nail biting. Our relievers weren't great tonight.
Romano and Alvarado were good. Strahm did the 10th inning job without an earned run (luckily had the extra cushion to work with). The bullpen had 0 walks. Just not Tanner Banks' night. But better than the other team's pen!
Nice to see us finally get the sweep. Strahm was a little shaky in terms of the two baserunners. That is now four straight scoreless innings from Romano who has gotten his ERA down to single digits (9.45).
Where do you find the 'would have been a homer in this so many parks' on the homer Banks gave up?
Strahm got two outs before he allowed the hits, so sure, a little stressful, but much better than if it had turned into a one-run game with one man on and no outs. The Rays' WE in the inning peaked at 16.1% with the two base runners and two outs.
It has seemed for the past week that the Phillies have recaptured their mojo. I stuck with the game but admit to basically giving up prior to the HR.
9-2 since the five-game losing streak that took them from 13-8 to .500. Picked up three games on the Mets I think.
I felt the same way. My daughter called, so I just turned off the television, instead of the sound and then my phone flashed 5-4 at me, so I told her I had to go and turned the game back on where I left off and got to watch the AMAMing comeback win.
