In the second, Bohm and Gregarious start the inning with singles, runners first and third.

Herrera grounds to first. Bohm caught hung up going home and is a quick out. Runners now first and second.

Gibson bunts, force out at third. Pirates looked to have an easy inning ending DP if they go to second, but they went to third instead.

Segura double plates two runs. Jankowski grounds out to end inning.

Phillies lead 3-0 going to bottom of the second.

Good to see Didi end an 0 for 14 string with his hit. Bohm did not look good in making the out between third and home, but Segura picked up the team with the double to salvage the run.

Pirates down in order again in the bottom of the second.

Gibson pitch count now 17.

Harper leads off the third with a double. JT hits full count pitch to the third baseman who looks to be going to first but instead throws to second to catch Harper well off the base. Second base running flub of the game for the Phillies. Next two fly out to end the third.

Gibson retires the first two in the bottom of the third and then walks the pitcher, Keller. Missed on 3 pitches in a row to issue the walk. Gamel singles on a ground ball to right, Keller to third. Bloop over Segura for a single drives in a run. Reynolds walks to load the bases. Polanco grounds out, 4-3, to end inning.

Walking the pitcher with two outs really costly for Gibson. Looked like he was going to get through 3 innings under 30 pitches, but then after the walk, trouble followed.

Pitch count now at 49 (8-9-32) for Gibson.

Phillies 3-6-0
Pirates 1-2-0

A new GDT with bot has started in the fourth inning.
