Daily News | Phillies receive NL championship rings, fall short of Reds sweep in 6-4 loss
In signing Taijuan Walker to the fourth-largest contract for pitchers in last winter’s free-agent market, the Phillies cited scouting and data that indicated he could pitch deeper into games than in past years.But the Phillies also built a bullpen that they believed could cover for short outings by the starters, with four potential closers and multiple middle-inning options from which manager Rob Thomson could choose.
But Domínguez loaded the bases on back-to-back one-out walks and an infield single. Jake Fraley followed with a three-run double to right field to turn a 4-3 Phillies lead into a 6-4 Reds advantage. The Reds were in the midst of a two-out rally in the fifth inning when the Phillies turned to the bullpen. Connor Brogdon walked Tyler Stephenson to load the bases before striking out Wil Myers on a dirt-diving changeup.
