The National League’s “Reliever of the Month” in June began to turn sour in July.
And now it appears, August is starting out as a a continuation of July.
Kyle Barraclough gave up a walk-off home run in the ninth to Maikel Franco as the Phillies rallied for a 5-2 win at Citizens Bank Park.
It was Barraclough’s third blown save in his past four outings and the second time he’s given up a walk-off homer in 12 days to lose a game. He also did it on July 22 when he gave up a grand slam in the ninth in a loss to the Rays.
