PHILADELPHIA — The Phillies were one out away from leaving the top of the seventh inning safely as they clung to a one-run lead, hoping to maybe salvage a win over Milwaukee after Saturday’s disaster at Citizens Bank Park. They got the ground ball they needed, and the play was there to be made.
Then Trea Turner, the shortstop whose defense is often a topic of discussion, booted the ball. The Brewers tied the game on the error before taking the lead for good in a 5-2 win over the Phillies on Sunday afternoon.
They became the first team to sweep a series in Philadelphia since July 29-31 of last season when the Yankees came to town.
