Final Score: Giants 11, Phillies 4
Phillies hitters remained patient against San Francisco Giants starter Robbie Ray, drawing five walks. Two came with the bases loaded in the bottom of the first inning. Bryce Harper was particularly patient. He walked on four pitches in each of his first two plate appearances.
After seeing eight straight balls to begin his night in the batter’s box, Harper wasted no time in his third trip to the dish. The ninth pitch of the game he saw from Ray was just like the first eight: not a strike. But it didn’t matter.
