Phillies' Game 1 scapegoat eviscerates MLB legend's brother after pitch tipping drama

The Philadelphia Phillies found themselves in another pitch-tipping debacle in Game 1 of the NLDS. Reliever Matt Strahm was front and center in the drama after he allowed a go-ahead home run to Teoscar Hernández in the seventh inning. The home run ended up being the decisive blow in the Dodgers 5-3 win, but the drama wasn't over just yet.

Cristopher Sánchez had to hand the ball off to the bullpen with a 3-2 lead after a masterful performance. After ending the sixth inning, David Robertson allowed two base runners to begin the seventh before Strahm entered the game with runners on first and second with nobody out.
