Was it fun to watch? No.
Exhausting? Yes.
Whatever adjective you want to use to describe that game, it would probably work. Faced with a 2-0 mountain to climb in the ninth inning, the Phillies climbed all the way back with six runs in the final frame to take the first game of the wild card series from St. Louis and head into tomorrow night with a chance to end it and move on to Atlanta.
The first six innings of this game were displays of outstanding pitching from both sides of the coin.
