Jeff Hoffman navigates obstacle course in extra innings to set stage for win

In an era where most relievers are one and one, Jeff Hoffman successfully navigated two innings, which set the stage for the Phillies 7-6 victory.

“I didn’t know if I’d be asked to go two. But I was definitely ready for it. I always want the ball in my hands.”inning after pinch-hitter Rougned Odor was assessed a strike on a pitch clock violation.

Lefthander Gregory Soto opened the eighth in relief of starter Zack Wheeler with the Phillies up by two. With two outs and a runner on second, he walked Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts to load the bases. Bob Melvin sent the dangerous Fernando Tatis Jr., who had been given a day off up to that point, to bat for Jake Cronenworth.

Instead, the Phillies stuck with Soto. Tatis singled to left, driving in two runs to tie the score. Only then did Marte enter the game to record the final out of the inning.
