Daily News | Phillies dodge sweep on Muncy’s gaffe in the 10th inning in 4-3 win
Phillies starter Zach Eflin watched along on the clubhouse TV as Alec Bohm stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the 10th inning. His team was trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers by one run with two outs, runners on second and third, and the game on the line.
Bohm fouled off an 0-2 pitch, then ran the count to 2-2. On the sixth pitch, he hit a ball softly to Dodgers second baseman Max Muncy. It seemed like a routine play, but then, Eflin heard the cheers. Muncy fumbled the ball. Garrett Stubbs raced home from third base. Roman Quinn — who is one of the fastest baserunners in baseball and perhaps the only person who could have scored in this scenario — rounded third and chugged home. Muncy’s throw home was just a little late.
It was an imperfect ending to an imperfect homestand. After Eflin tossed one of the best starts of his career, holding the Dodgers to four hits, two earned runs, two walks, two home runs and striking out a career-high 12 batters, the Phillies bats remained quiet until the sixth inning, when eight-hole hitter Stubbs hit his first career home run. In the bottom of the seventh, Kyle Schwarber had a chance to give his team the lead and struck out with a runner on first and one out.
Jean Segura sent the game into the extra innings by hitting an RBI single in the ninth inning, but then J.T. Realmuto made a costly base running error in the tenth, running towards home plate after reaching third base safely. Realmuto misread the situation — Justin Turner made it seem like the ball was thrown over his head — but it was a costly mistake, from one of the Phillies’ best baserunners. Johan Camargo struck out in the next at-bat.
