Daily News | Cristian Pache’s heroics lift Phillies to franchise record-tying 13th straight road win
MIAMI — When Cristian Pache launched a two-out, pinch-hit, go-ahead home run to center field in the ninth inning on Friday night, the Phillies’ dugout erupted. Alec Bohm said it might have been the most electric moment of the season. It felt like a home game. Players started running on the field. Pache sauntered around the bases, and then throughout the dugout, greeting his teammates with glee.
Pache, who was sitting in the visitor’s clubhouse a few lockers away, sensed that Marsh was talking about him. He smiled.“It means the beast,” Marsh said. “I call him Pacheco. It just rolls off the tongue.” It does seem a little surreal. Before Pache became a Phillie, he was known as a talented defender who was a liability at the plate. He didn’t make the A’s 26-man roster out of spring training this year. He had a .156 career batting average before this season. In his first week with the Phillies, his at-bats would bring on a sense of dread from the fan base.since then. Pache has worked hard with hitting coach Kevin Long. He’s staying back. He’s using his hips and his lower body more.
The Phillies needed his best on Friday night. Their offense looked largely dormant until the top of the ninth inning. J.T. Realmuto, who had accounted for the Phillies’ only run with a sixth-inning homer, led off with a single. With one out, Bohm doubled in Realmuto. Josh Harrison, hitting for Darick Hall, struck out. With two out, manager Rob Thomson chose to pinch-hit Pache for his buddy Marsh.
