[HopeSpringsEternal]

I’ll admit I was somewhat skeptical how this game would go with Smyly on the mound. But I’ve got to give credit to Klentak on taking what appears to be a pretty good gamble on finding another starter. Time will tell, but really pleased so far.

Osuna

Pitching Change: Juan Nicasio replaces Drew Smyly, batting 9th.
Ball (91.4 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, out(s) (86.5 mph slider)
126 ft ground ball (exit speed: 74 mph, launch angle: -22°)

Jose Osuna grounds out, shortstop Scott Kingery to first baseman Rhys Hoskins.

[LoneStarPhan]

Realmuto had four Ks last night and Ks pinch hitting here. He is working hard at giving Knapp more playing time. Seriously, I hope JT gets going on offense again soon. Phillies need hits from where every they can get them.

[LoneStarPhan]

Nicasio makes a very fine play to get the second out. Slowly hit ball to his right, fielded barehanded, and then throws off balance to first to get the out. The third baseman had no play.
Groundout hit hard but right at Hernandez gives Nicasio a solid 1-2-3 inning in the bottom of the 7th.

Solid start today from Smyly. It sure would be great to win this game.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Two more ground outs for Nicasio to close out the inning. Not sure where the Bot went. Bathroom break?

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Phils go down 1-2-3 in the top of the 8th. Where have you gone, Offense?

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Morgan pitches a scoreless bottom of the 8th (K, BB, K, and runner caught stealing).

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Phils go down quietly against closer Vazquez in the top of the 9th. Hoskins did manage a leadoff, broken bat single.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Neris pitches a shaky bottom of the 9th to send this game into extra innings. Catcher Diaz flies out to LF with the bases loaded to end the inning.

[DurhamBull]

There was some drama. What's Neris' HBP/IP ratio this year?

[DurhamBull]

And I can hear Jamie Moyer shouting "Two hands!"

[bkeich]

For a ball literally hit right at Williams that was terrifying. He didn’t look confident at all

We survived the 9th. The Pirates have a pitcher that can shut down the other team, we do not.
