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.

[bkox]

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

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.
