For the second night in a row, the Phillies found themselves trailing 3-1 against the Miami Marlins late in the game. As it turns out, that isn’t always a sign that the Phillies are about to score seven runs in one inning and win the ball game.
Things started out on a sour note tonight when Bryce Harper misplayed a routine fly ball and allowed Adam Duvall to reach base. It didn’t lead to any runs, but it did help to drive up Zach Eflin’s pitch count early in the game.
The defensive miscues continued in the sixth inning when Alec Bohm missed two different plays at third base, meaning he single-handedly allowed the second run of the game to score.
