Phillies will be left-hander Christopher Sanchez will be looking for his 11th win of the Season yandi Diaz will lead things off for the Rays and that's going to be sharply hit through the hole to the right of Turner between short and third and yandi stays hot on the road and the Rays have the lead off batter aboard and Dylan Carlson is coming up Fly ball right center field it's not deep playable for castios Who Comes running in and Nick reels it in for the first out Sanchez making his second start against his old team Johnny Duca is one offensive player who's been clicking of late swinging a Miss got it here's the great change up yep and is that a good one rer first Diaz after lead off singled and two out here is konero St shade did straight up the Middle with two outs and the Pitch hit right at Bryson stop charges in gloves it steps on second sides retired now runs on a hit one left by the Rays well the Rays will be going with an opener tonight and that will be in the form of Cole Soler you better be ready for Kyle schwarber he's got 13 leadoff homers this season talk about that schwarber slowly grounds one to second base able to wait for it as cavier and a little flip to yand Diaz for the first down get schwarber to hit it on the ground that's a good step in the right direction for the rais pitchers all right one out nobody on here is Trey Turner hit hard toward second there's cavero playing almost up the middle went to his left and another picks it up throws him out two down and maybe now's the time for Bryce Harper to end his home run drought tonight now sometime and that one missed out and Away went with his change up but Harper lays off and he draws a two out walk as castanos faces Cole suer the 3-2 his way outside ball four so now back to back walks with two outs one thing the Phillies did with the regularity on the road trip was score early they got a chance to do the same here with their hottest hitter at the plate Bryson St runners go the two- two pitch lined to First and scooped beautifully by yandi Diaz played off to the side he goes to the bag and the side is retired pul saer needed nearly 30 pitches to get through the first so Tyler Alexander out for the second 20th appearance of the year for Tyler Alexander and his issue especially lately has been keeping the ball in the ballpark two out no one on here is Johan roaz roas chops one out to walls it short to his left no it's cavier behind him throwing in the dirt and backhanded out of there cleanly by Diaz to retire the speed of Johan roas three of three down through two in Philly to the bottom of the third inning scoreless ball game Phil still looking for their first hit Tyler Alexander back to work two out base is empty for Trey Turner swing it a Popa right near the second base bag Taylor walls the short stop the call and the grab and that is six up and six down for Tyler Alexander now now we go to the fourth inning and still no score raay have the game's only two hits that'll bring up the second baseman Jose cavero ground ball headed up the middle there's a base hit into center field ciero a big turn there at first and he will hang on again a single base runner in each inning so far for the Rays that to bring up Christopher Morell the onew on the way swing and a miss struck him out and morel's down on strike second strike out for Sanchez two gone here's Taylor walls swinging a ground ball right at the short stop Turner has it sides retired no runs ahead there's Bryson St Lefty on Lefty the only guy that Alexander Is Yet To Face pH he don't have a hit yet swinging a ground ball hit off the end of the bat right to second to one KN to field is cabero on to first to get start and that is nine up nine down for Alexander in relief for the opener back 02 pitch 02 pinch Line Drive Right Center Field casanas to his right but it gets in front of it a base hit on 0 and two another hit by the race against Sanchez it's Dylan Carlson the batter he had a base hit is last time up no score fifth in a wing and a miss got him change up and Carlson is down on strikes and the Rays strand another one Phil he's without a hit through the first four Innings tonight Marsh leads offat roller it goes wide of the bag at first under handing Diaz over Alexander who drops the base and still got him out he dropped the baseball but John lius said that he picked it up in time to get the out I'm not so sure that he did but we'll see if Philly wants to review and they do oh and now that I see it again I think he's out I'm not 100% I think he swiped it when the right Spike was still on the base after review the call on the fields confirmed the runner is out Philadelphia will lose their challenge I wor doubt in the raay favor two up two down and that'll leave it for Johan roas in the pitch swinging a Miss he struck him out to retire to side don't look now the Phillies don't have a hit through five on we go to the six in Philadelphia the Rays of the Phillies are scoreless Alexander has allowed 20 two home runs so far this year how about just a hit worry about the Home Run later how about just a base hit here's schwarber his second turn against Alexander yeah Fly ball a deep right center field forget about it the Phillies have the lead into and out of the Rays Bullpen and on to Ashburn alley the 34th home run of the year for Kyle schwarber one nothing Phils 447 ft and then some yeah that'll work and that unfortunately is going to be it for Tyler Alexander too what a tough moment to leave on well the Phillies have one hit but he was hit 450 ft nearly at 113 off the bat by Kyle schwarber so Philadelphia one- nothing lead now in the sixth one out Kevin Kelly to face Trey Turner to the right side there's a base hit it's the second hit for the Phils the first one the Home Run and now the single to right field they come in bunches Tom philes have a one- nothing lead and here's Harper double play ball maybe to Second picked up by cavier to walls one throw to first double play side retired and Kevin Kelly allows the single and gets the double play on Harper Phillies had backto back walks in the first inning with two outs and they do so to start this inning and I think the Phillies are going to go to their bench here and pinch hit Weston Wilson and a ground ball Short Stop walls cabero won over to first they get the double play and that is a big double play castanos goes to third he's there with two gone all right left on left man at third two out swing and a miss high fast ball got it Montgomery bounces back from two walks to throw a scoreless seventh inning and the ray still in Striking Distance the only run the home run by Kyle schwarber in the sixth inning Carlos Estes out of the bullpen for Philadelphia and so we'll see what the Rays have in store for him down to their last shot Brandon Lao is going to hit for the first time on this road trip and he'll come up against the stez to start the ninth inning and here to hopefully bring us a comeback and a winner and a high shot back into center field Ranson is going to go to the wall and that one is caught by the 409 side no that ball dropped over he went up to try to grab that one back in that corner and it got away how about that from Brandon la oh my goodness Brandon it out Off the Bench and on the second Pitch hits it out to Center Roos right where the short wall meets the high wall he caught it ran into the fence and the fence Jarred the ball loose out of his glove and this game is tied 1-1 left-hander Garrett Clevenger on the mound and he's going to face Bryce Harper that one's sled out to right field and it's over the head of right fielder Off the Wall Harper didn't run so he's only going to get a single out of it that's inexcusable yeah you can't sit watch you can't fight win your division to get a first round by you can't do that and that'll leave it in the hands of Bryson St swinging a high Chop on the infield pass to Mound it'll be gloved by Wallace he's throw to first he's late and St legs out the infield hit Cal Stevenson is called back and the Phillies are going to pinch hit for Stevenson with Buddy Kennedy re balls two strikes the runners will be off down roll ball four and the bases are loaded and now you bring up the kid that RS and Cody Clemens everybody standing all the way around including in the bullpen Clevenger ready so is Clemens wi Drive Bas hit into right field the Phils will win the game Cody Clemens can R he wins it two to one here in the bottom of the ninth inning rice Harper scores and the celebration is underway it's his second career walkoff hit
