[LoneStarPhan]

Another line drive caught. Bad luck on the line out double play, but hopefully not important. Need 3 outs to nail down the game.

[bkox]

Hope the 3 days rest have helped Kimbrel

[kikutaro]

Tommy Edman

Pitching Change: Craig Kimbrel replaces Jose Alvarado.
Ball (95.7 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, out(s) (95.2 mph four-seam fastball)

Tommy Edman flies out to center fielder Johan Rojas.

[zambonir]

I think the Cardinals paid the biggest dividend. (And Lorenzen's no-hitter didn't necessariliy mean he was going to pitch like that against good teams either).

[kikutaro]

Alec Burleson

Ball (95.3 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (95.6 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (85.9 mph knuckle curve)
Ball (87.3 mph knuckle curve)
Foul (95.1 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (96.1 mph four-seam fastball)

Alec Burleson walks.

[EastFallowfield]

Cardinals team OPS is just behind the Phillies, 4th best in the NL. Braves, Dodgers, Phillies, Cards.

[LoneStarPhan]

Hate a walk in this game situation.

[kikutaro]

Paul Goldschmidt

Ball (95.2 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (95.9 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (96.2 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, no out (95.3 mph four-seam fastball)

Paul Goldschmidt doubles (26) on a line drive to left fielder Kyle Schwarber. Alec Burleson to 3rd.

[bkox]

Uh Oh

[LoneStarPhan]

First hit by Goldschmidt off Kimbrel.

And now we are in dangerous ground.

Need some outs.

[Patchmk88]

Kimbrel just has not been sharp lately.

[kikutaro]

Nolan Arenado

Mound Visit.
Ball in dirt (87.9 mph knuckle curve)
Swinging strike (blocked) (86.6 mph knuckle curve)

There we go!

[bkox]

Phillies give up just 3 runs, 11 hits and 3 BB in the 3 game series. and struck out 34

[Florida_Sunshine]

That is an amazing stat.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Uh Oh

I appreciate the job Kimbrel has done this year for the Phillies, but I’m wondering if we need to start mixing and matching for the 9th inning.

[bkox]

Phillies are a season-high 14 games over .500. They sweep the Cardinals in Philadelphia for the first time since 2003. The winning pitchers then were Padilla, Myers and Telemaco.
