Having to play a day game after a heartbreaking loss with the series on the line would reveal a lot about this Phillies team. The Phillies’ offense looked asleep for the first eight innings. Luckily it was a nine-inning game. Garrett Stubbs was the hero today, as he launched a walk-off home run to give the ‘Phils the 3-1 win.
This game was your prototypical pitcher’s duel as the two starters Kyle Gibson and Daniel Castano combined to give up only one run. Through the first seven innings, the Phillies had only five hits and could not score a run.
