Never mind that the Phillies committed three errors, all on wayward throws. Or that they struck out 11 times, the eighth time in nine games that they reached double digits in whiffs. Or that starter Jake Arrieta walked in a run with the bases loaded.
One big swing by Aaron Altherr — against Arizona Diamondbacks ace Zack Greinke, no less — erased all of it.
Altherr crushed a three-run homer to straightaway center field in the sixth inning Wednesday night, and the Phillies rallied for a 5-3 victory over the team with the best record in the National League, setting up a matinee rubber game today at Citizens Bank Park.
