Pickoff Attempt 1B
Swinging strike (84.8 mph slider)
Swinging strike (blocked) (88.4 mph splitter)

Daniel Descalso strikes out swinging.

[Patchmk88]

Also Alfaro and Knapp has awful at bats in the top of the ninth. All Jorge had to do was put the ball in play, but instead he overswings. Then Knapp just has to put the ball in the air and rolls it right on up.

Ahmed

Called strike (85.6 mph slider)
Ball in dirt (98.3 mph two-seam fastball)
Ball (87.6 mph slider)
Ball in dirt (86.8 mph slider)
Ball (96.9 mph four-seam fastball)

Nick Ahmed walks. Steven Souza Jr. to 2nd.

[Patchmk88]

Relievers come in tonight and want to fall behind each hitter.

[EastFallowfield]

Gotta get the crushing loss of the week out of the way I suppose

Yes, I had hoped it wouldn't matter, but not scoring after first and third with no outs just is not the way they have to play. An insurance run or two sure can be big.

[ButlerBulldog]

This is at least the 3rd time Arrieta will have lost a win because of a blown save in the ninth. I recall that Neris cost him twice in 8 days earlier in the season

A pitcher with Arrieta’s experience should be left in until he gives up a run or says he wants to come out. Knapp was never going to get Herrera home, so Kapler would’ve been better off leaving Arrieta in there.

[EastFallowfield]

Always wonder how happy the sponsors are when they show heartbreaking highlights with their name attached. Your WB Mason deliveries of the game are the runs you gave up to give up a win, great marketing

[kikutaro]

Hernández, C

Pitching Change: Brad Boxberger replaces Matt Andriese, batting 9th, replacing A. J. Pollock.
Called strike (90.9 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (78.9 mph changeup)
Foul (92.8 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (92.8 mph four-seam fastball)

Cesar Hernandez strikes out swinging.

[LoneStarPhan]

Extra innings.

Phillies had this one all the way until one out in the bottom of the ninth.

Looking back, it is easy to say that Kapler should not have gone to Dominguez tonight. He has been used hard and they have asked a lot from the rookie.

As it turns out, Alfaro and Knapp not being able to get a run in cost the Phillies a win in nine innings. I hope they can win in extra innings tonight. It is always great to start a road trip with a win.

Once again, the Phillies have shown that they can play with the best teams. I think they are continuing to mature and develop into a better team as the season goes on.

[Patchmk88]

Time to try someone else in the leadoff role. Cesar is a liability up there now. Guys OPS has plummeted recently.

[kikutaro]

Quinn

Ball (91.7 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (91.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (91.3 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (91.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (92.0 mph four-seam fastball)

Roman Quinn walks.

[phillychuck]

Kapler has burned out Dominguez to a degree. He's got to cut down on how often he uses him for a while.

That being said, we've got to get more that 2 runs ...

[kikutaro]

Williams, N

Called strike (92.1 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (79.8 mph changeup)
With Nick Williams batting, Roman Quinn steals (2) 2nd base.

In play, out(s) (80.1 mph changeup)

Nick Williams lines out to first baseman Paul Goldschmidt.

Santana, C

Brad Boxberger intentionally walks Carlos Santana.

[Patchmk88]

Williams laced that ball. Just hit it right at Williams.

[kikutaro]

Kingery

Mound Visit.
Ball (80.3 mph changeup)
In play, out(s) (91.5 mph four-seam fastball)

Scott Kingery grounds out, third baseman Eduardo Escobar to first baseman Paul Goldschmidt.
