PHILADELPHIA — The Phillies had the perfect opportunity late to change the series. Now, a 96-win season hinges on an even more improbable comeback than the one they attempted in the final three innings of Monday’s 4-3 loss in Game 2 of the National League Division Series.
They had hope. It just led to more heartbreak. Now, the Phillies will look to delay what everyone outside of the Phillies clubhouse believes is the inevitable.
They will look to become the first major league team in 10 years to win in the Division Series after dropping the first two games at home.
