The Rockies managed to steal a tough loss from the Phillies in extra innings. The game was tightly contested throughout, with both teams struggling to maintain offensive momentum. However, the Phillies’ offense struggled particularly, with their efforts coming up short in the end.
The game took a dramatic turn in the first inning when Bryce Harper was ejected, leaving the team without one of their key offensive players. Despite this setback, Nick Castellanos and Edmundo Sosa were able to hit solo home runs that helped keep the game within reach. However, it wasn’t enough as Jose Alvarado’s blown save in the 9th inning allowed the Rockies to come back and steal the victory.
The missed opportunity in the 9th inning proved costly for the Phillies as they were unable to regain momentum in extra innings. The loss was a disappointing outcome for a team that had been hoping to capitalize on their early offensive efforts. Overall, it was a tough loss for the Phillies as they struggled to maintain consistent offense throughout the game. They will need to regroup and focus on generating more offense if they are to avoid similar outcomes in future games.
