In the third inning, it looked like the Phillies were comfortable with conceding the game. Matt Moore and JD Hammer combined to give up seven earned runs in what was a horrendous third inning. Hammer in particular faced seven batters before being pulled and this is what happened: walk, hit-by-pitch (run), single (run), double (two runs), strikeout, three-run home run and single.
