How’s your blood pressure doing: Phillies 8, Guardians 5

The Philadelphia Phillies ended their four-game losing streak with a rollercoaster 8-5 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Craig Kimbrel blew his first save of the year in the ninth before Bryce Harper put the Phillies ahead with a single up the middle in the tenth. They added three more runs before Yunior Marte walked a tight rope in the bottom of the tenth to hold on.

Too close

After taking an 8-4 lead in the top of the tenth, reliever Jeff Hoffman entered in the bottom half of the inning exactly one inning removed from his excellent extra innings showing against San Diego when he threw two scoreless innings.
