In the fourth, Miami tacked on three more thanks to a hit by pitch and a single to put runners on the corners, a safety squeeze for the first run, a triple by Chisholm for the sixth run and after getting out of it to end the fourth, the end of the game for Zack Wheeler.

It was a disappointing day for Wheeler, but he didn’t factor in the decision thanks to a Phillies offense that decided, hey, this is the Marlins.

Bryce Harper singled to start the sixth inning, Bryson Stott walked with one out and Edmundo Sosa stepped to the plate. Facing Andrew Nardi, Sosa found a pitch to his liking and tripled in both runners, cutting the lead to one.

When Brandon Marsh hit a sacrifice fly to get Sosa in, the game was tied and the bullpen took over.

For their part, the bullpen was incredible. Starting in the fifth inning, they gave up two baserunners over the next five inning, keeping the Marlins offense at bay during this time. Sadly, the Phillies were just as ineffective against the Miami bullpen, managing only five baserunners once starter Braxton Garrett left the game in the sixth. Since both teams weren’t able to do anything in the standard nine innings, there was an extra frame needed. In the top of the tenth, the Phillies could not capitalize on the Marlins loading the bases. When Gregory Soto started the tenth, the Phillies decided to walk Josh Bell to set up a potential force play anywhere, but bad luck finally decided to bite the Phillies when Emmanuel Rivera hit a ball off the rear end of Soto, careening into short right field and scoring the winning run.

Nothing really to do there. Simply put, the Phillies should’ve never been in that position to start with. Whether that be Wheeler being better, the offense coming through in the tenth, there were opportunities to win the game that were missed. That’s going to happen.

The team moves to New York to see the Mets for the first two parts of a home and home.
