Demote this! Phillies 6, Pirates 5

This was a weird one. It felt like a loss when the Pirates scored four runs in the seventh inning to take a 4-2 lead. It felt like a win when Bryce Harper (new dad strength!) and Corey Dickerson homered in the eighth to put the Phillies back on top. And when Hector Neris gave up a game-tying home run to Josh Bell in the ninth, it felt like we might be in for a long night. But thanks to Sean Rodriguez’s home run in the bottom of the 11th, it ended up being a 6-5 win.
