Things changed when Philadelphia Phillies catcher Garrett Stubbs came up to the plate with two runners on base and two outs.
Stubbs’ celebration was great. Instead of a disappointing home series loss, the Phillies took two out of three from Miami and improved to 32-31 on the season.
The Phillies offense was largely dormant for most of the game until Stubbs saved the day. Stubbs was interviewed after his clutch walk-off home run and got an ice bath from his teammates.
This was Stubbs’ third home run of the season. He is now batting an impressive .342 in 15 games played.
Philadelphia Phillies get back above .500
The Phillies got back above .500 after winning in dramatic fashion by a score of 3-1 over the Miami Marlins. The team is now within nine games of the New York Mets in the National League East standings. The Phillies have won eight out of their past 10 games and are within striking distance of a wild card spot.
Kyle Gibson got the start for the Phillies, going eight innings and allowing just one earned run. Gibson lowered his ERA to 4.04 on the season. Here are a few pitches Gibson threw at the Marlins lineup.
The Miami Marlins gave the ball to Daniel Castano, who went 6.2 innings and allowed zero earned runs. The Marlins dropped to 28-33 on the season, 12 games behind the Mets in the NL East.
This was a game the Phillies could not lose after blowing a 9-8 lead to the Marlins in last night’s matchup.
What’s on tap?
The Philadelphia Phillies travel to the nation’s capital to face off against the Washington Nationals for a five-game weekend series. The series opener is scheduled for Thursday night at 7:05 p.m. EDT. Zack Wheeler is the probable starter for the Phillies. On the season, Wheeler is 5-3 with a 2.84 ERA.
