The Phillies walked three times, were hit twice, reached on an error and had just one hit in a 10-batter, four-run eighth inning that set off a win over the Mets on Sunday.
"I'm not sure if I've seen it before," Phillies manager Rob Thomson said."The chances are unlikely, I think."
"That plays needs to be made 10 times out of 10," the 23-year-old Baty said."That cost us the game, cost us the series."With new life, Brandon Marsh walked with the bases loaded and it was 6-5. Brigham then plunked Schwarber on his left knee to tie it at 6 as another sellout crowd of 42,901 went wild as the rally stretched another batter.
The Mets seemed poised to win their first series since they completed a three-game sweep of the Phillies on June 1. Pete Alonso hit his 24th home run and had three RBIs, Francisco Lindor homered and the Phillies wasted chances to blow the game open.
