Another Heartbreaker in Seattle😢

Hey Phillies fans, our boys battled hard but came up just short in a 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Mariners. Let's break down this nail-biting game.

Strong Start💪

We kicked off the game with a bang! Kyle Schwarber got us started with a single, followed by Trea Turner's double to put runners on second and third. After Bryce Harper fouled out, Alec Bohm grounded out to drive in Schwarber, giving us a quick 1-0 lead. Brandon Marsh struck out to end the top of the first, but the momentum was in our favor.

The Mariners were silenced early thanks to fantastic pitching!

Building the Lead🚀

By the 5th inning, it looked like we were cruising. Austin Hays singled, Schwarber walked, and Turner loaded the bases with an infield single. And then, Bohm delivered again with a 2-RBI single, followed by Brandon Marsh driving in two more with a hit. Suddenly, we were sitting pretty with a 5-0 lead.

All credit to Haniger, who got Seattle on the board with a homer in the bottom of the 5th.

Seattle's Big 6th Inning🤯

The 6th inning was a nightmare. Randy Arozarena doubled, and Polanco drove him in to start the comeback. A clutch hit from Luke Raley and some missteps on our end allowed Seattle to tie it up at 5-5. We couldn't find a way to stop the bleeding, and suddenly, all our hard work vanished. 😔

Extra-Inning Drama🎭

Tied at 5-5, we headed into extra innings. Despite Schwarber walking to lead off the 10th, we couldn’t capitalize. J.T. Realmuto and Nick Castellanos struck out, and Bryson Stott flied out to end our half.

The bottom of the 10th added insult to injury. With bases loaded, Mitch Haniger walked, bringing in the winning run for Seattle. 😠

Final Thoughts💔

This one stung, Phillies fans. Our bullpen struggled at crucial moments, and we just couldn't keep the Mariners at bay. It hurts to see such a strong start fall apart, but let's keep our heads up. We've seen our boys bounce back before, and we'll see it again.

Let's regroup and get ready for the next one! Go Phillies!⚾❤️
