One Sentence Summary: The Phillies rallied for a come-from-behind victory and Jhoan Duran shut down his former team in the ninth for his 26th save of the season.
What It Means: We listened to this entire game, from pregame to postgame, in the middle of our 12+ hour drive from Minneapolis to Pittsburgh. The Phillies completed the sweep and would open up a six-game series against the Marlins and Cardinals on Monday.
What Happened: The Twins jumped out to an early 4-0 lead following a first inning grand slam from Brooks Lee off Andrew Painter. Painter would settle down after that, allowing one more run in five innings pitched. The Phillies didn't start chipping away until scoring four in the sixth, capped by Alec Bohm's three-run home run to make it a 5-4 game. In the eighth, Bryce Harper singled and Luis Arraez doubled to start the inning. Bohm singled to right to tie the game, and with two outs Bryan De La Cruz grounded a single to left, scoring two runs and giving the Phillies the lead. Duran put a few runners on in the ninth but ended up striking out the side to secure the save.
Featured Card: With no more De La Cruz cards to post, I'll give Bohm another card here.
