Diamondbacks 9, Phillies 8<\/strong><\/h2>\n

PHOENIX, June 12 \u2014 In the start of a three-game series, the Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> traveled to Chase Field to play the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a>. Phillies left-hander Matt Strahm<\/a> went up against Diamondbacks left-hander Tommy Henry<\/a>. With the roof and panels open and an announced crowd of 18,432 the Diamondbacks and Phillies emptied the benches and the bullpens after Corbin Carroll was hit by pitch for the second time. In the end, the Diamondbacks came back from a 5-1 deficit to win, 9-8, on timely hitting and smart base running. The bullpen also combined to toss 4 1\/3 innings with three hits and three runs allowed. An overturned call in the ninth sealed Miguel Castro\u2019s seventh save. Of note for the Phillies was catcher J.T. Realmuto, who hit for the cycle.<\/p>\n

Start the Game<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Phillies got a first inning single from Nick Castellanos<\/a> but left him stranded. The bottom of the first saw Ketel Marte<\/a> single on a line drive to left field. After a strikeout by Emmanuel Rivera<\/a>, Corbin Carroll<\/a> was hit by a pitch. Christian Walker<\/a> walked to load the bases before Evan Longoria<\/a> hit a sacrifice fly to score Marte. Pavin Smith<\/a> lined out sharply to center field, ending the inning. Diamondbacks 1, Phillies 0.<\/em><\/p>\n

Phillies get a Homerun<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To lead off the second inning, J.T. Realmuto<\/a> hit his sixth home run of the season on a fly ball to right-center. That home run had an exit velocity of 101.1mph, a distance of 387ft, and a launch angle of 34 deg. Henry was able to settle down and got out of the inning with only that run. Diamondbacks 1, Phillies 1.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the top of third, after Kyle Schwarber<\/a> struck out swinging, Trea Turner walked, and Castellanos singled sharply to left. With runners on first and second, Bryce Harper<\/a> was out on strikes, but Realmuto tripled to center, scoring Turner and Castellanos. Alec Bohm<\/a> doubled Realmuto in.<\/p>\n

Josh Harrison<\/a> singled on a line drive to center field, scoring Bohm. However, Harrison was out at second on the throw, Jake McCarthy<\/a> to Walker to second baseman Marte to shortstop Geraldo Perdomo<\/a>.<\/p>\n
