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?
They're demoting Jake Thompson. Titanic deck chair to take his place.
On the good news side, the Phils scored 14 runs over the past 2 days.
