Craig Kimbrel finally blew his first save of the season but the Phillies’ offense and bullpen mate Yunior Marte picked him up an inning later in an 8-5 win. CSeidmanNBCS of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
The Phils do not end the weekend in a playoff position but are as close as it gets after 99 games. They're a game behind the Reds and a half-game behind the D-backs and Giants, who are tied for the final two spots.
Harper looks more than comfortable at his new position. He made two diving stops to his left, one to end an inning with a runner on base. He leaped to snag a line drive to his right and double off a runner at first base. He fielded a ball deep behind first base and raced to the bag to beat Josh Bell. He hooked up with Bryson Stott on a bang-bang play to retire speedy leadoff man Steven Kwan on a bunt to begin the eighth inning.
Kyle Schwarber, whose legs will be fresher over the final two months as he gets to DH, legged out a key infield single in the fifth inning, a play that went a long way in bringing the Phillies back from an early deficit. Brandon Marsh opened the frame with a stand-up triple over the center fielder's head, and with one out, Schwarber grounded a ball to Bell at first base.
