One Sentence Summary: Trailing 6-0 after five innings, the Phillies would tie up this ballgame late, only to fall in 11 innings to the Rockies.
What It Means: The four-game winning streak is a distant memory and the Phillies will try to break the two-game losing streak tonight.
What Happened: Jesus Luzardo continued his inconsistent season, falling victim once again to one bad inning. Cruising through three innings after allowing a first inning run, Luzardo couldn't retire a batter in the fourth and he was chased from the game having allowed six runs on six hits, three walks and a wild pitch. A Kyle Schwarber solo home run (his 13th for the season and 200th with the Phillies) and a J.T. Realmuto RBI double made it a 6-2 game after six innings. The Phillies stormed back with five runs in the eighth to tie the score, with the big hits being Bryson Stott's two-run double and Justin Crawford's two-run home run. It was Crawford's first in the majors.
Featured Card: Jhoan Duran, Jose Alvarado and Orion Kerkering worked a scoreless 8th, 9th and 10th innings. Brad Keller was in instant trouble in the 11th, eventually allowing two runs to score. Keller, who was viewed as the set-up man for Jhoan Duran when he was signed, hasn't been impressive so far this season. He's had four clean appearances (no baserunners) out of his 17 total relief appearances.
Transaction: Dylan Moore (inf-of) cleared waivers and was outrighted to Lehigh Valley.
