When the Phillies started the game with back-to-back home runs, it looked like we might be in for a fun romp. When the bats quieted down over the next few innings, it looked like it wasn’t going to be quite that easy. When the Phillies extended the lead to six, it once again felt like a tension-free win. But a rough eighth inning ended those hopes. Finally, Jose Alvarado was able to close things down, and the Phillies escaped with a 7-6 win over the Rockies to complete the three-game sweep.
The Rockies struck first with an unearned run in the top of the first, thanks to an error by Alec Bohm.
