Daily News | Craig Kimbrel blows save, but Phillies’ bats spark comeback 8-5 win in extra innings
CLEVELAND — Craig Kimbrel was 16-for-16 in save opportunities before he took the mound on Sunday afternoon and retired the first two batters in the ninth inning of what would become an 8-5 Phillies victory.
But the Guardians weren’t done yet. Jeff Hoffman took the mound for the Phillies for the bottom of the 10th and recorded no outs. With ghost runner Will Brennan on second, he allowed a walk, and then an RBI single by Steven Kwan to score Brennan. He allowed another walk to load the bases. At that point, Thomson pulled him for Yunior Marte, who was given the unenviable task of facing José Ramirez with the bases loaded and no outs.
Less than 24 hours earlier, in the sixth inning of Saturday’s 1-0 loss to the Guardians, the Phillies saw a pop fly drop between second baseman Stott, right fielder Castellanos, and center fielder Brandon Marsh to score the go-ahead run for Cleveland. Stott thought he heard Castellanos say something and backed off. Castellanos saw Stott and assumed he would catch the ball. It was a miscommunication.
Sunday’s win wasn’t easy. It wasn’t a blowout or a shutout. It wasn’t the cleanest of games. The Phillies had to grind it out. They scored their first run on a balk in the first inning. Nola gave up a home run in each of his first two innings. Bryce Harper made a curious decision not to run to first base in the fifth inning, when he hit a grounder to first base.
