The Philadelphia Phillies blew a three-run lead as they fell to the Miami Marlins 7-5 in 10 innings.
Jesus Luzardo tossed a gem over his 7 innings of work, allowing just two runs, one earned over his start. However, the Phils bullpen and defense prevented the lefty from getting his third win the season and prevented the Phillies from completing the sweep of Miami.
The Phillies led 4-1, heading into the 7th inning with Luzardo still in the game. He induced a sharply hit inning ending double play ball, but instead of Bryce Harper fielding it and turning two, Harper let the ball go right under his mitt and into right field for a double. Then two batters later, with two outs now, Luzardo again induced another grounder, this one to Bryson Stott who let the ball go under hit mitt and off his foot allowing a run to score and the inning to continue. Luzardo would get out of the inning by getting his seventh and final strike out of the game. Despite Luzardo only being at 88 pitches, Rob Thomson decided his starter’s day was done and he went to the bullpen.
Orion Kerkering came on in relief and surrendered a three-run homer for Javier Sanoja to give the Marlins a 5-4 lead in the 8th.
The Phillies were able to tie the game at 5 in the 8th, thanks mostly to a series of misplays by Miami’s second baseman Otto Lopez.
Matt Strahm pitched the 10th for the Phillies and allowed two runs to score.
