The best bases of scoring position are home plate and first base.
That was a less than ideal decision. But also exactly what this team looked like when it couldn't lose.
Other teams might go to another pitcher at this point.
Otto Lopez

Otto Lopez reaches on a fielding error by third baseman Alec Bohm.
Why is Phillips still in this game? He is getting crushed, we don’t need to see 100 pitches from him

Derek Hill called out on strikes.
Questionable strike 3 call goes our way for a change.
And so now we are bringing in Ruiz ??????????????? Are we trying to lose?
They used a lot of relievers yesterday.
Another extremely bad call on the third strike. Phillies benefit this time but it was not a strike.
Ruiz hasn't allowed a run in his last nine appearances.

Mr. Ruiz, I apologize to you.
The error to start the inning and a high throw on the steal made it harder, but Ruiz puts up the scoreless inning.
Well done.
