The Phillies went back-to-back for the first time all season but a seventh-inning rally wasn’t enough in a 6-5 loss to the Guardians in Bryce Harper’s debut at first base.
The Phillies went back-to-back for the first time all season but a seventh-inning rally wasn't enough in a 6-5 loss in Cleveland.
Bryce Harper debuted at first base and had an eventful introduction to the new position. The first at-bat of the bottom of the first inning was a groundball his way, the leadoff batter in the second inning hit a line shot to Harper's left that he snagged, and he opened the third by jumping into the camera well to catch a ball in foul territory. Harper will DH Saturday as the Phillies ease him into the new spot.
The Phillies fell behind two in the first inning and Cleveland kept tacking on with runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth. Jose Ramirez had four singles, stole two bases, took two more bags on wild pitches and scored twice.
