CINCINNATI (AP) — Scott Schebler hadn’t even put the ball in play all night when he came to bat in the ninth with a chance to script a wild ending.
His double got it done.
After striking out in his first three at-bats, Schebler doubled with the bases loaded and one out in the ninth inning as the Cincinnati Reds took advantage of another meltdown by Philadelphia’s bullpen and rallied to beat the Phillies 3-2 Wednesday night.
Philadelphia wasted a lead in the eighth inning of a 6-2 defeat on opening day. Ahead all the way until the ninth, the Phillies let another one get away.
