After vomit delay on mound, Phillies hold on to win

MILWAUKEE — You could excuse Gabe Kapler if his stomach turned a bit in the ninth inning on Sunday as he watched his bullpen come within a few feet of blowing a five-run lead.

And you’d have to excuse him if he felt a bit nauseous an inning earlier when the game was delayed to clean up vomit. Brewers reliever Adrian Houser threw up behind the mound in the eighth inning after he threw his warm-up pitches.

The righthander stayed in the game and drank some water, and a bat boy cleaned the mess with a watering can.
