In a series that featured three very different types of games, the Philadelphia Phillies dropped a series at home for just the third time this season.
Game 1 of the Phillies-Arizona Diamondbacks series was the ultimate slugfest, featuring an MLB record 13 home runs, and ultimately ended with the D-Backs on top.
In game two, the Phillies took the lead on a Scott Kingery home run (more on that later), and didn’t look back despite a somewhat shaky start from Jake Arrieta.
Game three was without offense, as a pitcher’s duel between Zach Eflin and Merrill Kelly ultimately fell in Arizona’s favor.
