⚾⚾PHILLIES: Playing in front of a high-energy, sellout crowd of 42,578, the Phillies coughed up a one-run lead in the bottom of the eighth inning and suffered a demoralizing 7-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Here’s the full recap:
San Diego and Milwaukee both won Friday night. The Phils lead San Diego by 1 1/2 games and Milwaukee, the last team out, by three. These are comfortable advantages, especially with the Phils holding a tiebreaker against both teams. But the Phils have lost two in a row. They still needs some wins.
The Braves certainly gained a measure of confidence against the Phillies on Friday night. The win gave them a 7-6 record against the Phils this season, with six more to play, and it came via a rally against bullpen ace Seranthony Dominguez, a pitcher that the Phils need to shine if they’re going complete their journey to the postseason and possibly do some damage in the October tournament.
“He was spraying the ball a little,” said manager Rob Thomson, who used Dominguez in the eighth because the top of the Braves’ order was coming up. If Dominguez had protected the lead, David Robertson would have gotten the save opportunity.After the game, Dominguez said he was “100 percent” healthy. The loss was difficult to swallow because the Phillies got a very nice start from Ranger Suarez, who could get a start in the postseason. He allowed just a run – it came when he served up a 3-0 home run ball to William Contreras in the bottom of the fourth – over six innings.
