Daily News | An eighth-inning surge from the Phillies fuels a road win against the Rockies
DENVER — It’s not often that you see a pitchers’ duel at Coors Field, but that’s what happened through the first six innings of a 6-3 Phillies win against the Rockies on Friday night.
Then came the seventh. After managing just one hit off of Gomber — a double from J.T. Realmuto in the fifth that he unsuccessfully tried to extend for a triple — the Phillies were able to find a streak. With one out, Alec Bohm hit a solo home run to tie the game at 1-1. Bryce Harper followed with a hard-hit single, Nick Castellanos reached base on a forceout, and Kyle Schwarber drove in two runs with a 430-foot home run that landed in the trees beyond center field.
The Rockies tied things up at 3-3 after Walker exited the game, which found Ezequiel Tovar hit an RBI single off Matt Strahm, and Blackmon hit a sacrifice double play to score Randal Grichuk. But the Phillies added insurance runs. In the top of the eighth, with two outs, Trea Turner doubled, Bohm walked, and Bryce Harper drove them both home connecting with a 104.4 mph double to right field.
