Of course it would be Trevor Plouffe who would hit the game-winning homer Tuesday off a Dodgers second baseman in the 16th inning. Nothing about Gabe Kapler’s early tenure has been predictable, so why should game No. 100 be different?
Four months ago, Kapler was fumbling pitching changes and being booed at the home opener. Today, he has the second-most wins among Phillies managers after 100 games. The Phillies are 56-44 and a game ahead of the Braves in the NL East.
Dallas Green was 57-43 in a colorful reign that started in 1979 when he replaced Danny Ozark.
