Pinch hitting for Miller and using Bedrosian with a one run lead were moves I think were wrong, but maybe Joe lucks out again. I sure hope so. It almost feels like this team might just do it this season.

Didi Gregorius was batting .148 with a .520 OPS this season against left-handed pitchers. He just hit a three-run homer against a lefty in the seventh inning to give the #Phillies an 8-6 lead. pic.twitter.com/5j7adeEnAu

Didi!

[bkox]

Well either way we have something exciting to look forward to.... either a Phillies win.. or the MLB record for blown saves. currently tied at 34. To lose this game we would have to blow another one.

[bkox]

Actually... since Neris is now in line for the win... if he gave up the lead I dont think it would be a blown save... But the 9th inning reliever could

[Patchmk88]

Can never make it easy

[LoneStarPhan]

Remember, Perez is a .144 hitter who the Phillies fear greatly. Same for Park, the .188 hitter.
