Philadelphia PhilliesvsToronto Blue Jays
PHI 2/TOR 3
Things to say
Toronto beat Philadelphia 3-2 at Rogers Centre.
01
Jays squeaked one out, 3-2. Tight all night under the dome. Phillies left guys on, you could feel it slipping.
02
key player
Toronto's starter got into his stuff early and went deep — that's the game right there, no way the bullpen blows a one-run lead today.
03
hot take
Philly's at 36-31 and still looks a bat short. The heart of the order went quiet again and nobody wants to say it.
04
deep cut
Manager went to the pen a hair early in the seventh and somehow it worked — getaway day bullpen roulette, you love to see it.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Phillies bounce back tomorrow — long season, but games like this leave a mark.
The recap
Blue Jays edged the Phillies 3-2 at Rogers Centre on a tight one-run nail-biter that came down to the final frame. Philly's bats couldn't crack it open against Toronto's arms, and the heart of the order went quiet when it mattered.
Jays scratched out just enough offense to flip the script on a Phillies club that's been the better team on paper all year. Tough loss for a contender on a getaway-style road trip; Toronto needed that one to climb back toward .500.
