Final

[EastFallowfield]

lucky angle of the ball saves the Phillies from a tie game as the ball hits

Lose enough one run games you're bound to get a lucky win once in a while?

[LoneStarPhan]

Glad the Braves broadcast team is happy with the comeback loss.

Pivetta 6IP, 3H, 1R, 1BB, 5K
Bullpen 3IP, 7H, 5R, 3BB, 1K (+ HBP)

In spite of the horrendous pitching from the bullpen, the Phillies hang on to win, sweep the Braves in 4 game set, and now have won 5 in a row.

I have to hang the tired pen and 3 days in a row use of some on the manager. They have 7 in the pen and if they are afraid to use any of them, make a change.
Fun to get the 5 wins in a row and the offense today again put up the runs that should win almost every time.

[EastFallowfield]

SF Giants have the worst record in MLB.

Speaking of bullpen, Benoit was not used either yesterday or today which might indicate the Phils think they can move him. My gosh, I think he is the only reliever other than Britton who has not moved today, relievers are changing teams like athletes change uniforms.

[EastFallowfield]

Benoit to PGH? Probably in the trade thread.

Yeah I think that was about Benoit. Beato's injury probably didn't help either. But he will have to give some new people a chance in new roles now that the 7th and 8th inning guys are gone.

Yes, there were some unusual things happening with the pen these past few days. Clearly, Benoit was off the table waiting to be traded. Good news is that even with the bullpen struggling today, the Phillies get the win.
