The Phillies have a never die attitude and that was shown tonight. The Phillies were down 3-2 going into the ninth inning and with one out Carlos Ruiz hit a double, then Ben Francisco doubled him in. Then, with two outs Shane Victorino hit a triple that scored Ben Francisco and the Phillies took a 4-3 lead.
Brad Lidge came into the game in the ninth to get a save for the Phillies. He gave up a lead off single, then a wild pitch that moved the runner to second base. Next, a base hit was hit to right field and Jayson Werth mishandled it and the runner scored to tie the game a three. Andrew McCutchen came up and hit a walk-off home run to win the game for the Pirates.
UP NEXT
Phillies:This season has been a struggle for Cole Hamels. He is is 7-8 with the fifth-highest ERA (4.72) in the National League. He allowed 10 hits and four runs just five innings Friday in a 4-2 loss to the Mets at Citi Field. His pitch count has been so high, he hasn't been able to go deep into games. The batters are fouling off a lot of pitches. I don't know if hes tipping his pitches or what. If we were able to get Cole pitching the way he was last year our rotation would be unstoppable.
Pirates:Despite being hit by line drives to his left tricep and left shin, Paul Maholm tossed 7 2/3 innings his last time out and allowed just one run on seven hits. Though he had some nice bruises to show from the knocks, he is not expected to be affected by either injury in his next start.
