Game 110 - Late Saturday Night, August 3rd in Seattle
Record - 65-45, 1st Place, 5 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies' bullpen blew a five-run lead and the Mariners secured a walk-off win with a bases loaded, 10th inning walk in this 6-5 loss.
What It Means: Another devastating loss, and the losing streak has reached six games. The Phillies, still 20 games over .500 and with a five-game lead in the division, are going through a historically bad stretch.
What Happened: Opener Orion Kerkering (one inning) and Kolby Allard (four innings), pitched well and the Phillies led 5-0 heading to the bottom of the fifth. Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh both had two-run singles to give the Phillies what seemed to be a comfortable lead. Allard gave up a solo home run to Mitch Haniger in the fifth, and All-Star Jeff Hoffman surrendered four runs in the sixth. It was by far the worst performance of Hoffman's season.

The Phillies had chances to take the lead, but instead the game headed to extras. Carlos Estevez, who had pitched an uneventful ninth, intentionally walked the lead-off batter in the 10th, putting runners at first and second. After recording two outs, he hit Dylan Moore to load the bases and walked Haniger, scoring the winning run. Replays show Haniger should have been called out on strikes to end the inning prior to his walk, but the Phillies aren't getting any breaks these days.
Featured Card: Maybe this card of Phillies legend Casper Wells will bring us some luck.
