A night after being stuck with the pointy end of one of the finest pitching performances in modern memory, the Philadelphia Phillies (38-32) recorded a season-high 17 hits and held on for dear life in a 9-8 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers (42-26) on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
The Phillies opened the scoring against Brewers\u2019 lefty, Shane Drohan<\/a>, in the second inning with a two-out solo shot by Edmundo Sosa<\/a>, his fourth of the season.<\/p>\n They tacked on two more runs in the fourth inning on an RBI double by Bryson Stott<\/a> and an RBI single by Brandon Marsh<\/a>.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The Brewers clawed back with a two-run home run by Garrett Mitchell<\/a> in the bottom of the inning and a solo homer by Jackson Chourio<\/a> in the fifth.<\/p>\n The offense put up a five spot in the sixth, sending nine men to the plate with six straight hits to open the inning, punctuated by a mammoth three-run home run by JT Realmuto.<\/p>\n The entire starting lineup reached base with Bryce Harper<\/a> being the sole member without a hit.<\/p>\n Two nightmare innings by Jose Alvarado<\/a> and Brad Keller<\/a> brought the five-run lead down to one and a crucial insurance run in the top of the eighth, brought by a two-out walk by Harper and back-to-back singles by Alec Bohm<\/a> and Marsh, proved to be the decisive factor.<\/p>\n
