The Phillies were in a position to score the game-winning run when another botched call cost the Phillies on Saturday night.
After a four-run first inning from Zack Wheeler, the Phillies found themselves down early. Andrew Knapp and Wheeler each managed RBI singles in the bottom of the second to cut into the Mets’ early lead. Then, Alec Bohm slapped an opposite-field two-run home run to tie the game up in the bottom of the sixth.
Then came the bottom of the seventh.
What Happened?
Phillies Were Gaining Momentum
Scott Kingery came in to pinch-hit for Wheeler to kick off the bottom of the seventh with a prompt strikeout.
