Recaps

– Once the game started, things looked no better for the Diamondbacks, as the Reds built a 3-0 lead through five innings behind the pitching of Andrew Abbott. “Down 3-0, kind of flatlined, and just very, very curious about how we were going to get centered and get back out there and score some runs,” Lovullo said. The Diamondbacks gave him an answer, scoring a run in the sixth and four in the seventh to win. “I’m not gonna lie, it was rough,” Lovullo said of the past week. “I stood before the cameras and told you how rough it was, and these players were basically echoing some of that frustration and distraction as well. And they’re real, and when they talk about it, it’s a real thing. But when they say they’re coming out the other end and then back it up with their play, it tells me a really good story.”And, elsewhere… – “It was awesome,” he said with a shrug. “Just a little bit of disbelief.” His homer traveled an estimated 459 feet over the Citizens Bank Park batter’s eye as the Phillies won their ninth straight. In a few weeks’ time, the Phillies have gone from falling behind in the National League wild-card race to erasing much of what seemed to be an insurmountable Atlanta lead in the NL East. The Phillies are three games back in the division. It was the first Phillies win when trailing by four or more runs with two outs in the ninth inning since April 13, 1983, against the Mets.
