Harper hits 30th home run, Phillies blow 30th save in loss against Colorado

Final Score: Rockies 4, Phillies 3

The Phillies were a strike away from a series-opening victory against Colorado. All closer Ian Kennedy had to do was make one pitch to Ryan McMahon, who came in to pinch-hit for Yonathan Daza. McMahon saw four fastballs in the at-bat and fouled off three of them. The fifth was a curveball that hung on the lower inside part of the plate. Just like that, the Phillies were down by a run.

Ian Kennedy gave up three earned runs in the ninth inning of Thursday’s game.
