A bases-loaded wild pitch by David Robertson in the eighth inning proved costly for the Phils.
After an offensive explosion in the first five innings of Sunday’s game, the Phillies’ bats fell quiet once they returned from a rain delay that lasted 2 hours, 5 minutes. They entered the delay with a one-run lead, and for a while, it looked like the bullpen was going to hold it. But David Robertson allowed an earned run before the game went into extra innings and the Phillies were unable to muster the run support needed to finish the job, falling to the Atlanta Braves, 8-7, in 11 innings.
