Cesar walks to load the bases. No one warming up, they say.
Odubel chases and K's. Headed to 9th, 11-4.
Top 9th

Gamel out 3-1, dive play Joseph.
Cano out 3-1, first time they get him out in 6 tries today.
Seager walks. No 1-2-3 innings for the Phils pitchers today.
Valencia singles to left. 2 on, 2 out.

Bottom 9th
Lefty Overton pitching.
Altherr long drive DEEP LEFT FIELD THAT BALL IS WAY OUTTA HERE! 11-5.
Franco pinch hits and flies to deep center, 1 out.
Joseph long drive, deep left, that ball is OUTTA HERE, home run Tommy Joseph, and it's an 11-6 ballgame. Hits the railing just over the wall.
Blanco out 4-3, 2 outs.
Quick, get Altherr to the cloning lab!
Franco's a mess at this point.
Galvis out 5-3 , Phils swept by the M's in 2 game series.
Fly ball out in one AB?
Swung at the first pitch, didn't he?
He wasn't the only one to swing at a first pitch in the last couple innings when the M's had the huge lead. Didn't seem to be a team wide strategy to take a strike.
In the 8th, Galvis, Knapp, Kelly, Hernandez and Odubel all swung at first pitches down 7 runs.
Where is Matt Stairs when you need him?
