Craig Kimbrel had a rare blown save, Seranthony Domínguez walked a tightrope, and Alec Bohm delivered the game-winning hit in the 10th.
The magic number to clinch a National League wild card is down to three. The Phillies could lock it up as soon as Sunday, although there’s rain in the forecast. Regardless, it’s a virtual lock now.
So, too, it appears is the top wild-card spot — the No. 4 overall seed — and the home series that comes with it in the best-of-three first round. If the Phillies go 3-5 in their final eight games, the Arizona Diamondbacks would have to go 8-0 to overtake them.Kimbrel inherited a one-run lead and served up Baty’s one-out homer on a knee-high fastball. It marked only his second blown save since Aug.
Crisis averted. But the Phillies’ collective blood pressure has risen because of the bullpen’s recent cracks, which, as much as anything, explains why Kerkering is here.
