PITTSBURGH - It was a play, Ryne Sandberg said, that Freddy Galvis makes "all the time." The grounder to short and the sharp throw across the field for the out at first. But there was nothing routine about the shortstop's error that precipitated the Phillies' 1-0 loss to the Pirates Sunday at PNC Park.
Galvis fielded Jose Tabata's grounder and threw high and to the left of Ryan Howard at first base - a bad throw, Galvis said.
The play would have ended the 11th inning. Instead, Neil Walker moved to third and scored on Josh Harrison's single to center.
