For the second time in as many games, Nick Vincent, who was in Triple-A at this time last week, was given the ball in hopes of extending the game. In both instances, the Reds and Mets took advantage of a depleted Phillies bullpen and walked-off on a team whose playoff odds are quickly approaching zero.
The Phillies, however, still have a chance to win the series and gain some ground on the Cubs. They remain four games back behind the Cubs for the final NL Wild Card spot and are a game and a half back of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have have won nine of their last ten games.
