I was starting to have my doubts that ….
……...we had them all the way.
Wow. Start off the ninth with 5 singles in a row. Phillies bullpen now definitely struggling to get the final inning. How many have we lost in the last inning so far this year. I really have been a fan of not having a designated closer, but I am coming around to realize that having a reliable closer may be a necessity for a team that is going to be a successful championship team.
I guess we won on Herrera's strikeout reach and run scored in the bottom of the 8th.
Good to see Kingery get the home run plus hit the ball hard to drive in a fourth run as well. Again, Nola with a solid start only marred by the run allowed in by the bullpen.
