Daily News | Phillies roll Rockies, 7-4, to earn first series win against Colorado since 2012
DENVER — It took the Phillies five innings to get their first hit on Friday night. On Saturday, it took them just one to score four runs.
The Phillies didn’t score another run until the top of the eighth when Garrett Stubbs drove home Clemens with an RBI single to right field. They blew the game open in the top of the ninth when Bryce Harper stepped up to the plate with one on and no outs. He took one pitch, swung at the second, fouled off the third, and launched four — a low curveball — 439 feet to right field.
This weekend marks the first time the Phillies have won a series in Colorado in over a decade . They’ve now won five games in a row, and are one game above .500. Connor Brogdon entered for Suárez in the fifth, and allowed just one of the seven batters he faced to reach base . Andrew Bellatti entered in relief of Brogdon in the seventh inning. In his first outing back since he was activated off of the 15-day injured list on May 10, Bellatti faced the top of the Rockies lineup. He induced a groundout and two strikeouts.
