The end of last night’s Phillies victory over the Braves would have made Tom Emanski proud.
Newly acquired Brandon Workman, normally a solid relief pitcher, has struggled in his first two outings in a Phillies uniform. He blew a save in Saturday night’s come-from-ahead 5-4 loss to Atlanta and was asked to protect a 5-3 lead in the 9th last night. Workman struggled once again. With runners on 1st and 2nd and two out, Freddie Freeman lined a shot into the left-center field gap that looked for all the world like it would tie the game up.
