Heck of a Win for Phillies Over Cubs, But Some Drama Can Be Avoided


They fell behind early, rallied for a Lead, gave it away, tied the game, and finally went ahead for good on a solo homer by J.T.


But if the Phillies were completely honest with themselves as they headed for the team bus after the game, they would have admitted that the victory was actually more difficult than it should have been.


Only a one-out double by Maikel Franco, a huge, two-out walk by Andrew McCutchen (after being down 0-2) and a game-tying bloop single by Jean Segura saved the Phillies in the top of the ninth.


They came all the way back on Realmuto's homer in the 10th - five innings after he made a defensive gem on the receiving end of a Bryce Harper strike to the plate (see video) .


Dominguez was in the game for a second inning because he had a strong, 1-2-3 seventh and Kapler was trying to pick his spot with Pat Neshek.
