Phillies’ bullpen fails late again in 6-5 loss to Diamondbacks, tying the NLCS at 2-all

Associated Press  

PHOENIX — Philadelphia spent most of the night taking advantage of Arizona’s moves in a bullpen game, building a three-run lead by the seventh inning. Craig Kimbrel gave up three runs in the eighth, including two on pinch-hitter Alek Thomas’ tying homer into the Chase Field pool, and the Phillies lost 6-5 to the Diamondbacks on Friday to tie the NLCS at 2-all. Thomson sent Kerkering back out for another critical situation in Game 4 and he again struggled, walking two — including Christian Walker with the bases loaded. But he wasn’t the only one.” With his team still leading 5-3, Thomson summoned Kimbrel for the eighth inning instead of waiting for the ninth. They’ve got to throw it to the zone.” Paul Sewald closed it out for the Diamondbacks in the ninth, leaving the Phillies searching for late-inning answers heading into Game 5 on Saturday.
