After being outscored 26-5 in consecutive losses to start the series, the Phillies blew a five-run lead Wednesday and lost 10-6 on Max Muncy's walk-off grand slam against Craig Kimbrel. CSeidmanNBCS of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
Edmundo Sosa missed a catchable ball at third base that allowed the tying and go-ahead runs to score with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning. It was a line shot off the bat of Austin Barnes just to Sosa's left. He didn't have to move to catch it but the ball simply eluded his glove, racing into left field for a two-run single.
"Anything can happen there," Thomson reasoned."They can double steal, the ball can get away, the catcher can try to be too quick. And Alvarado against Barnes, I'll take Alvarado every day of the week.""He actually came up to me in the dugout and clubhouse with a very positive message, that things happen," Sosa said."Ultimately, what he wanted was to lift my spirits. He said it's baseball, it's not the first time and won't be the last time.
The Phillies staked him to a five-run lead with a big third inning that included six hits, but just like on opening day in Texas, that five-run lead turned into a four-run loss. A year ago, Castellanos chases one of them to end the game. But he's been a different hitter this season and his patience paid off. The next batter, Bryson Stott, hit a game-tying RBI single to left field.
