Daily News | Phillies squander 5-0 lead, lose to Marlins 9-8 in 12 innings
MIAMI — The Phillies have not had an easy win in a while. They definitely haven’t had one in Miami this week. But to compensate for their lack of offense, their pitching and defense has allowed to them prevail. On Wednesday night, it lost them the game in heartbreaking fashion.
When Zack Wheeler exited the game after the sixth inning, the Phillies had a 5-2 lead. After the top of the sixth inning, they had 5-0 lead, their first five-run lead since July 15. But it didn’t last long. “We’re going to look at it, because every time our relievers came in the game, they were on some heaters,” manager Rob Thomson said. “So, we’re going to look at it.
In the top of the eleventh, Alec Bohm hit an RBI single to score ghost runner Rodolfo Castro, who was acquired at the deadline and was making his Phillies debut. Bryce Harper grounded into a force out to reach first base, Nick Castellanos lined out, and Bryson Stott hit a double that hit the first base bag, moving Harper to third. But Turner grounded out to limit the Phillies to just one run.
