I confess that I was a nonbeliever going into the bottom of the seventh. Phillies offense was doing nothing to that point and the pitching was okay, but not perfect. A three-run lead looked huge. The pinch hitters came through in the seventh (Kemp single, Bader walk) and they score three to tie. Tigers come back with the home run to retake the lead, but Phillies offense score two to take the lead for first time after 8 innings. Then Duran shuts the door. No messing around, it gets out-out-out to nail down the win.
Great come back and great win. Decent start for Ranger going 7 innings giving up 3 runs on 4 hits, 0 walks, 5 Ks. Suarez unfortunately gave up two singles and the two-out home run in the third for all the runs allowed. Still, a quality start. Kerkering loses the lead on the homer in the 8th, but gets the win on the Phillies second come back. Great save for Duran in his first appearance in a Phillies uniform.
